2011 Transit mk7 85hp swb low roof, 110k 2nd owner. Full service up to 92k, then I got it at110k.
It had a knock when I bought it, but the circumstances in which it came to me meant I couldn’t resist.
As soon as I got it, I did a full service, with best quality kit.
I’ve done 5k miles.
Knock only exists at idle, as soon as it gets to 15k/2k rpm knock goes.
No smoke. Starts first time. Pulls well. Sits happy at all speeds. Tics over well.
Breaths heavy on oil filler cap removal, but not frighteningly so, kinda like a bunged up breather pipe type thing (I think).
But the knock is doing my napper in, I’m not bothered about the noise, it’s not loud or obtrusive, but it’s there and I know it is and I don’t know what’s making it or if it’s just normal or if it’s about to drop it’s guts. It’s the not knowing that does my head in.
So please for the love of anything/everything/nothing or anything else.......please please please someone give me an idea of what to do to find out what the knock is......
(Ps I’m not a mechanic, but I build motorcycles for a hobby, so I am mechanically minded, but no idea of technical terms etc)
Pss seriously I’m retired on mental health issues, so my heads never right, but this is insane. It’s 3am and I’ve been up since 7am reading everything I can find.
HELP, PLEASE.
