What could be the reason for a ticking noise from a Citroen C3 HDI diesel engine?
It could be one of the injector fire seals.
There is a forum post dedicated to the Citroen C3 injector fire seals here:

and a YouTube video demonstrating the sound of a leaking fire seal (ticking or chuffing sound) here:

or, it could be the crank pulley.
There is a video of the sound a worn crank pulley makes and information about the parts required to fix it at

What else can I help you with?
What causes the ticking sound in the Ford Falcon?
It's a rocker arm tapping at valve stem. Hydraulic lifters (hydraulic rocker mounts) are the common reason for the ticking. If it doesn't go away when the engine heats up, consider replacing the lifter where the ticking comes from.
What is the best oil for diesel engine 2006 megane?
Any diesel engine should use any 15-40 weighted oil. Reason being is that because it is the heaviest and thickest engine oil and takes longer to break down due to incresed oil pressure experienced by a diesel engine.
Are there any Diesel engine parts that are compatible with those of a gasoline engine?
Diesel engine parts are more rugged than gasoline engines, so the two should never be used together or mixed. They are made separately for separate purposes for a reason.
What is the reason for engine oil mixing with diesel?
If you mean that you are getting diesel in your crankcase then you have an internal leak in the engine and it could come from a host of places. The engine information is vitally important to lead you to an accurate answer... ie. Is it mechanical or electronic. Injector o-rings are the most common cauee that I have seen.
How is maintenance different for a gasoline and diesel cars?
The main reason is that the way Diesel and Gasoline engines works is complete different, the gasoline needs a spark to explode and generate movement. The diesel explodes with pressure, the pressure of the fuel on the cylinder is what makes the explosion, so in a diesel engine you don't need an electric system to generate a spark. The compression in a diesel engine is a lot higher that a gasoline engine. All diesel engines have diesel injectors, gasoline engine works with injectors and carburators. Because of all this differences and more the maintanence is different, oil change periods, air filters, fuel system, electric system, belts, valves.........
When driving engine cuts out for no reason loss of power after a while starts again 206 diesel?
Some diesel engines need to recycle to clean the air filters. Perhaps the 206 diesel engine is trying to recycle but is not completing the action. Also, some of the newer diesel engines need to go through a system check before starting the engine. Try turning on the key until the vehicle completes a system check (this could take about 30 seconds or more). Then, turn the key to start the engine.
How much pressure is created by the blast in diesel engine?

Can you put a diesel engine in a Ford F-150?
Yes. If you're going to put a heavy-duty truck diesel engine in it, you could only use the 5.9L I-6 Cummins. The reason why is because of the gas engine size of it but it still packs decent diesel power. Just think of it this way, a 5.9L V6 Gasoline engine. It's the same size. So yes, you can put a 5.9L I-6 Cummins in an F-150 only.
What are benefits of propane on a diesel as for fuel economy power?
Using propane on a diesel engine can potentially increase fuel economy and power output. Propane has a higher octane rating than diesel, allowing for better combustion efficiency and cleaner burning of fuel. This, in turn, can lead to improved performance and efficiency in the engine. However, it is important to note that the actual benefits may vary depending on the engine, tuning, and driving conditions.
Where is the spark plugs located on a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel?
The main reason of not using the spark plugs in diesel engines is because of the diesel having a low ignition temperature. At the end of the compression stroke the pressure and temperature values achieved are sufficient to ignite the diesel which is sprayed into the hot air in the combustion chamber.
How does a diesel engine work?
The diesel fuel, along with fresh air, is put under a great deal of pressure over the piston under the cylinder head. This causes the mixture of fuiel and air to explode and push the piston down. Other then that the operation between a diesel and petrol engine are about the same.Another answerA diesel engine works like a regular gas or petrol engine that uses injectors, except that a diesel engine uses only very high compression to cause the diesel fuel/air mixture to heat up so much that it explodes. Some diesels also have glow plugs which help the diesel fuel/air mixture ignite while the engine is cold.A gasoline engine does not use such very high compression to ignite the fuel/air mixture. It uses a spark plug.A diesel engine is very similar to a gasoline engine except for one main reason. A 4-stroke gasoline engine first intakes a mixture of air and fuel into the cylinder, compressed by a piston, and then this compressed mixture is ignited by a spark plug which creates a small electrical arch. A diesel engine first intakes just air into the cylinder and is compressed, afterwards the fuel is injected into the compressed air, the heat from the compression of the air ignites the mixture without the use of a spark plug.
