Engine noise from 2018 M-Sport

Postby Leanda » Sat May 26, 2018 9:19 pm

Hi can anyone help me , I’ve had my 18 plate m sport 5 weeks and to me it seams like there’s a rattling noise coming
From the lower drivers side part of the engine on tick over , I took it back to the garage and they seem to brush it off and say it’s normal
With the euro 6 engine apparently , has anyone else had this problem, is it true that I’ve spent £36k in a van that has a rattle and it’s normal ??

Mine had that which got louder and louder over time. It is to do with the timing gear. Had everything replaced. Take it back. Apparently 1 in a 1000 suffer from it. Have you got the new shape or original m sport

Cheers pal , I new ther was something not right , I don’t know wether it’s brcause where I’m taking it to to have it looked at isn’t the garage where I brought it from , I don’t think they can be bothered with it , but it means driving 150 miles back to the garage I brought it from ,it’s the original shape I think , date of manufacture is 2017 ?

You will have to take it to a ford garage for it to be fixed under warranty
