Hi all.
Recently acquired a dealer demo mk 4 focus trend. Drives well and so far I'm impressed with the car. All apart from the pretty horrendous ticking from the engine. Not much to go on via Google. Just one video on YouTube which seems similar to my problem. Link here. https://youtu.be/eXlt4C5R04Q Plenty of other videos for different ford ecoboost engines talking about lifter tap or broken pistons. When I test drove the car I didn't notice it. Given how loud it is on cold start and under load Im fairly certain it's a developing issue. Just shy of 8000kms. Just wondering if other owners can comment. Most notable on cold start and light to medium pedal driveways. Remains noticeable at fully warm. Tapping frequency rises with engine speed. If it's a characteristic of the vehicle then I guess I might save a visit to the dealer. |
