I am not sure if that is the same problem that I had with my 95 900S with 144K kms. The awful clattering noise occurred even during idle. The problem had to do with the timing chain and balancer shafts. Basically, a chain guide broke and the chain basically chewed up the gears on the balancer shafts. In any case, after C$3000 of repairs, the engine now runs like new. I had some engine knock (???) which was more like a loud clicking noise when going uphill or sudden acceleration. I have since moved away (based on the advice from this board) from the cheap gas and started using Chevron Premium. The clicking noise has been reduced significantly and will be trying to get some Techron Concentrate on my next trip to the Blaine, WA. I am going to use the good stuff and see if the noise will be eliminated completely.
Does anyone know if the clicking noise is engine knock or something to do with the transmission?
Thanks,
Simon
