Chugging when slowing down

archwayanimal · Dec 15, 2014

Hi there - my Disco 2 runs beautifully, but when slowing the engine does seem to make a chug chug noise before being steady when I stop - noticeable to mates as I approach the station every morning. Have been told by another Disco owner that this is normal - but is it really? When idling, engine is totally smooth. Would appreciate any views!

possibly,but i don't like trains.

...right.

Any thoughts on the non-locomotive inspired chugging noise - Thomas the Tank Engine / Ivor the Engine references aside? Although Ivor the Engine was a quality show...

try checking the exhaust manifold for leakage.

If you keep "station" ary,then you will,you have to "guard" against that.

Unless of course the Papers get wind of it, especially the 'Daily Express'

Thanks to you chaps, for all of your thoughts,
Some helpful, some less but the world needs all sorts...
I do love my Disco - it goes like a train
Although it does cause me worry now and again
It may chug a bit, and have other ails,
But thanks to its ACE, it corners on rails..
It may resemble an old steam chuffer,
But I know the old girl is really no duffer.
So the Fat Controller's twin I may be, which is all good and dandy,
But now and again your tips are terribly handy!

glad you hooked up to this,otherwise this could have hit the buffers.

I'm sorry guys, last nights wine session has de-railed my ability to link up to this thread.

I think I need to coal it a day, for heavy drinking.

I wonder if the noise is being caused by the Beeching valve closing too soon.

I can't see a clear answer for all the steam/diesel fumes.

Maybe it's caused by leaves on the road ?

The early ones had Stephenson pistons, maybe they need re-aligning?
