My engine has a slight knocking close to what a small diesel engine sounds like,never had any issues since i bought it with 38k on the odo,now it have 73k and running strong as ever.

Figured out 1rst what is the source of the knocking you are talking about and then you can share it with us.
gustavo, did you check your egr valve? there is a nut on the bottom of it, i beleive its a 22mm, if that works its way loose you will get that diesel sound, its a very easy fix
