N53 325i rattle/clatter when revved

Subzero2003 · 04-04-2011, 09:57 AM

Hi All,

I was just hunting around for a bit of information on the problem i'm having with a 325i with the 3.0l N53 engine. When the engine is revved the engine makes a clattering sound as the revs fall. I've attached a video to try and illustrate my point - sorry it's so poor quality - YT to blame!

Any help would be appreciated, as it was only bought on Saturday and has 5000 miles on the clock!

It's the Piezo injectors - I questioned it on my 07 'vert with the same engine when it was new and they said there is no problem, all like it!
