Engine tapping noise

Postby CMBDAVE » Sat Jul 09, 2016 5:22 pm

So my one year old transit has now done 60,000 miles and has now developed an annoying tapping noise from the engine compartment.Dont know if it's an engine tap but it is only noticeable at 2000 rpm at about 50 to 60 mph and it sounds for all the world like an old fashioned tappet would on a much older engine,i have booked it in for the dealer to have a look at but was wondering if anyone else had come across this .

Hi Mate
Any joy with this? My engine seems a bit noisy too. Only done about 14k miles now but just sounds a bit loud and what sounds like tapping noises too -could just be me being paranoid mind. I took it to the dealer and they said it was all good -might get a second opinion though.

I was in a mate's transit tourneo and his was quiet as a mouse. I'm told it's the same engine.

Hi

So my Transit went into the dealer and they spent 2 days with it messing about with the fuel system, it seemed better but as i have put more miles on the clock is seems to have started with the tapping again.
The engine is all good until you get to about 50 to 65 mph just as before then the tapping starts ,you can speed up and the tapping stops or slow down and it stops ,its back in for a service in two weeks so i will mention it again.
Sorry i can't be more help.

I've noticed my 15 plate 155 has a strange knocking noise occasionally when I first start it up but then disapates as the oil seems to start pumping around, anybody else noticed this ?

I've got a 64plate 125ps Transit 17 seat minibus Trend,

At 2k revs I get an annoying tapping noise coming from behind the dash - its a really harsh and loud vibrating noise. I thought it might be a wire inside but I can't seem to find it. Ford dealers couldn't find an issue, I've drove exact same vehicles with same engine and they don't suffer the same problem.

Anyone had similar?
