I guess this happens if your engine is over fueling or are consuming oil. The fuel or oil gets caught in the particulate filter and when the temps get high the fuel or oil ignite and you get a nice flame.
Obviously this is not a normal condition. Diesel engines do not tick or knock that loud normally. It sounds like the valve train isn't getting lubricated or a really bad piston slap. Judging by the unspent fuel I'd say its a valve train issue. Does anybody have a copy of the recall notice?
