You’ll Never Believe What Caused the Knocking Noise on my Cheap Auction Range Rover! [Part 2] 

This video has 122k views on a channel with 122k subs. This man is getting 100% engagement.

I really like the style of your videos, it's calm and you explain everything concisely and clearly, making it very easy to follow for someone who is interested but not very savvy in mechanics. I can't wait for the next episode!

Dang. Straight to the point. No annoying ads/sponsors. Random farm things to stimulate my brain. Nice channel.

Holy moly i would never thought that such unreliable engine could be sort of with an oil change

That’s almost unbelievable how the oil quality and quantity could make that much noise difference 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Real quality work, approaching faults thinking about solutions and with serious work and with good tools, he's reaching the goals. This Channel deserves way more subscribers i think

I don't even have a car myself, but I enjoyed watching the meticulous diagnostic work you have done so far from the time you bought this vehicle.

Keep the videos coming, I really enjoy watching all of them. It may sound trivial, but I see so many people, mechanics included who don't know to pour the oil out of the jug sideways like you did to avoid the air gulping and splashing. props!

I've been abandoning my interests and passion in mechanics- especially auto for programming, but your videos make me reconsider my choices. I believe you are very subtle and direct I could almost pick out everything I need to start off my career from your vids! Keep lighting up this fire. Much thanks👍

With the oil filter being upside down there should be a check valve to keep the oil from draining out after it has sat for a period of time. This causes the engine to starve of oil on start up until oil pressure builds up. I am 76 years so my memory isn’t the best but my 1953 Willys Pickup had its oil filter upside down and I had the same issue with engine noise on start up. This causes wear on the bearings and other internal parts because they don’t receive oil to the bearings - rod - crankshaft- cam + pistons and so on until oil pressure builds up. Unnecessary internal wear and the noise most likely is bearing with no oil for on start up. It might be worth checking out. Thanks

People seem to forget 2 key things about car ownership; change the lube, use manufacturer recommended lube. Simple.

I loved the part when you were making some tea, helps calm nerves and think better Good job and cant wait for Part 3

The noise, was the bypass valve under the oil filter. Easy way to test that one, is rev the engine up to 2500, the noise should vanish, because enough volume and pressure is moving to keep the valve open all the time.

Imagine how cheated and defrauded the original owner feels now from that initial ispection.

It’s amazing what good oil will do for an engine. I’ve always been an oil change nut! Can’t do it enough imo. I saw that evacuator and had to get one. Using it this weekend if weather holds on my small stuff- mower, air compressor and generator. Thanks for another amazing video Waldo! The quality is best on YT!! Pet Aspen for me!!

This is the best DIY-diagnostic-fix video I have seen in a long while. An excellent presenter, great editing, and all round an enjoyable watch. Subscribed!

Second video ive watched of you, you really produce some high quality videos man, keep it up, you can easily get to 1M.

Very interesting video. I like when just good maintenance goes far to help vehicles run better like this. Looking forward to the timing chain fix.

My new favorite RU-vid Chanel! Detailed, entertaining and more importantly to the point!

I'm glad you're back on the Range Rover project. I'm not big fan of car repair videos, but you're first Range rover video changed my mind that's why I subscribed,I would love to see more of it.

Wow Waldo,amazed that the oil quality made such a difference... Look forward to part 3!!

Just found part 1 and 2 of this video series. Great work!

Waldo can't believe changing the oil cleared bup the noise! Always enjoy watching!

Love that interior on your Range Rover , lm keeping my Fingers crossed that the timing tensioner and belt/chain Completely sort’s everything out Waldo . BTW , l am a complete fan of all your videos. Excellent work buddy

Wow! Enjoyed both the videos and really blown by the tools you use, as it is all new to me. ( the plunger , the stethoscope, camera etc...) and your patience. Also it shows why the regular oil change in your vehicle is so important 👌😇🙏🙌😀

Im so invested- can't wait to see the car running tip top. Good work, you know your stuff.

Epic Stuff! I can literally visualize you giving masterclasses through your channel in a few years. Keep up the great work Waldo : -)

Waldo, I gotta say, after watching one video of yours I subscribed. Good going. I'm glad I found you. Keep em comin!

Thanks Waldo, yep looking forward to part 3..................its amazing what new oil and filter can do

Nice series. Clean, easy to understand, well explained, good video footage. You got a sub :)

I recently discovered your channel and I have to say your videos are so well made.

You are an excellent mechanic! Well done on Diagnosing the probable issue, and solving said issue. Well done!

Gosh, that is a genuine luck you got there mate! Can't wait for the 3rd ep.

Awesome victory. You knew you were in for a tough time with expensive and complicated Range Rover parts, but you’re ahead of the game with what looks like a complicated timing system.

Looking forward to part 3, thanks for the content.

Such a soothing, calm presentation. Love this guy!

I found this channel back in December you are awesome dude I’m so happy you have over 100,000 subscribers keep it up

I like the way you explain the whole process, anybody can understand so easily

Coming home from work to a new Waldo video 🤙🏻

I love ur channel n how the way u explained the things to do n always try to do the cheapest way to solve the problem, very easy to understand n follow.great job n take care

want more of this series , awesome work

Hooked on this series and I'm learning a lot. Thanks man.

You had me at a loss for words too on that oil change. That’s awesome!

Ha ha..man! I never saw a mechanic in my life who uses a stethoscope to check the heart of the vehicle 😹🩺 passionate guy! 🤙💯

Very excited for part 3!!

My 03 Silverado ran pretty rough when i first got it. I ran seafoam a few times through the fuel, oil, and air intake and it made a world of difference. Cleaned the engine right up and it ran much smoother and improved gas mileage.

Maybe someone used the wrong weight of oil in it as well, or an oil change hadn’t been done frequently enough. Pretty wild it made that big of a difference You work extremely hard, you deserve some good luck.

dude u got me hyped for this Rover! Keep the good work!

Been waiting for this. Keep the content coming bro.

Just found your channel and have binged all of your videos. Great stuff!

Can't wait for the parts to arrive and the third part... 💪

Wow just found this channel, awesome content! Cant wait to see more, good stuff.

that's insane that the knocking is mostly gone with using some oil. i wonder why Land rover wouldnt put some thread locker on those timing chain nuts.

Your mechanical knowledge is phenomenal. I could sit all day in your class.

Awesome video Waldo Yes late engines with vvt or cam phasers are very delicate about oil type

amazing what an oil change can do to an engine. looking forward to Part 3 what a beautiful interior

Just picked up my first L322! need to work my way back through your videos :)

NICE love it! I am ready for part 3 I want to see how this all turns out

This car will be an amazing deal once it’s all redone. Nice find👍

Man, I am so happy to see this! The car isn't mine but what a relief was this video! And speaking about the mileage, that number surprised me too, because here in Brazil is unusual to see a RR Vogue with more than 200 thousand kilometers (120k miles). Congrats sir , another great video.

Ive been waiting for this like many others, o think its so cool and amazing idea to get it cheap and fix it urself its good when you know what to do, my mums ute engine blew up so im probably gonna put a new engine in it one day

First time seeing one of your videos. I enjoy your presentation and am learning from you. Thank you

Big award for making a cup of tea the right way!

Excellent quality upload, interesting content presentation and editing .Well done !

Uuugghhh. The wait will kill me. Lol. Just excited to see the progress

Great job Waldo.. To understand the machine we love and use is much better than chunking out another couple thousand dollars for a fancier one.. lots of love from another petrolhead.. peace bro..

Am really enjoying your content all the way from New Zealand

Getting hooked on your content. Please keep filming.

I’m sure the timing chain tensioner is ran off oil pressure and depending on how particular those engines are. The slight change in viscosity or drop in oil pressure could result in chain slap and a few degrees off of timing *depending on how sloppy it actually is*. I believe you’re on the right track.

Hey Waldo nice job, anyone who drinks Twinings and runs Casterol is a winner in my book. Looking forward to seeing the timing kit install. Take care out there... 👍

Can't wait to see the progress when the next video is published.

Mechanic Waldo on tea break, hard on thoughts, light bulb brighten a bit. Waldo might be lucky guy, if it just timing chain.

Finally, was waiting for this video to come.

As a new subscriber and owner of three Land Robers I have been anxiously waiting for your next video. Thank you! I know the noise you hear. My ‘11 RRS-SC will be going to a master LR tech who opened his own shop;-). $3500 all in to do the same job the stealership wants $9500. Hope that helps.

Looking forward for part 3!

That was so cool, when the changing of oil made the noise go away there was a smile on my face so big as I felt I've found this hack myself :))

Profesional work, really like that you don't replace unnesesary things. It doesnt need to shine to be good! Thanks for the video ,waiting to see if the timing is really false.

great video, looking forward to part 3!

Always great content, sir! Have a great weekend!

I read Waldo's world and thought of the typical 1 dollar stores, but nothing could be further from the truth, the content has fascinated me.

I have had several Land Rovers and a couple Range Rovers and I would highly recommend getting rid of the air suspension. If you plannon ever driving it off road springs will treat you alot better. Lucky 8 offroad has kits to convert the springs. Another thing is as Rovers age alot of people put slightly thicker oil in as it helps with wear and compression.

Love your content, keep it up!💪

This is such a cool series

Great vedio Your presentation got me knocked out. Am so impressed by your explaining accurately. Tks brgds from india goa

Awesome video, I lover everything land rover.... can't wait for the timing job

I have a very noisy Mercedes Viano engine here in Germany which was surprising as my S-Class ran like a sewing machine. Against all my colleagues advice and one of those is a ``Meister´´ Mechanic I put in an oil additive called White Lightening, a bit like Slick 50, within minutes the Engine sounded a lot quieter. For bigger engines I always use Mobil1 0 or 5 oil for smooth cold starts in winter. Great video, and I was shocked that a simple oil change could just about kill all that knocking.

Great commentary…keep up the good work.

After 160K miles, cam chain tensioner service is pretty normal for this engine. Let's hope nothing else goes wrong.

Great Video buddy,very informative.

My Rover R75 has exactly the same engine noise :/ but only on cold (morning) ignition, and just for about 1-2 minutes, then it fades away. I’m excited for the part 3, nice video bro! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

Weird but awesome fix. Love all the content! Maybe mix in some short vids, like the welding kart, if you have a long project. Just to still my hunger ;-)

DO MORE VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!! DO MORE, WE NEED MORE. My God I hope you get big, I love your videos.

Actually RU-vid Recommended Me the First Video and Loved Your Presentation and the Information. After Your Video, I Watched Samcracs Videos about Ranger Rover and It was a Huge mess. Hope This will end up much better than that : )

You gave the same response as i did when your saw where you oil filter was made. Only mine was made in Dubai !

I could immediately tell that the sound had gone away. That is amazing!

Hello Waldo, that was one for the win column so far. Looking forward to the timing chain video - I assume it won't be a 12 hour video - LOL. Regards, Dave

A magic result. Well done.

Wow man this video's poppin! That's awesome that fresh oil helped so much. The factory JLR OCI is so ridiculously long to begin with, and it looks stretched well beyond that. The 20w just doesn't have the shear strength to have any substance left to it after such neglect. I switched mine to 5w30 but in your cold climate the 20w is probably fine, just stick to short term LOF's. I know the handy box of tools will come in for the timing job, but that's sweet that most of the resolution happened without even pulling an injector. I had no idea people would be so interested in this or I would have filmed the one I told you about that had the warped block. Nice work

Nice fix, oil change can do a lot of good. Just be careful when lifting the car with air bag suspension as you can damage the air bags when the wheels are on full droop. 2 post lifts are normally not bueno with these cars. Cheers 🍻

Most likely a hydraulic lash adjuster, years ago I knew a reputable machinist that had a similar issue with a Mitsubishi engine. He wasn’t well versed in the import world. Old school drag racer type. The oil galleys in those engines are tiny up in the cylinder heads as are all the dohc engines now. He was attempting to use 15/40 oil, not nearly enough flow to keep the Hla’s happy. All the oil pressure in the world won’t help if the oil isn’t moving through ALL of the galleys. Long story short 3 qts of 5/30 and 1 atf cured his issue, then we changed the oil again after flushing the lifters for about 20 miles. Funny how they had the heads off 2x looking for the problem 😆 all I hear in that engine may be a Hla or 2 and the fuel injectors clicking.
