Mk7 Engine rattle???

Postby Lil Dave » Thu Jan 27, 2022 9:04 pm

Hi guys my Mk7 T280 115 2.2 fwd still has a “rattle” driving up to speed …..
I posted on here about it last august and after fitting new egr …new injector seals with copper washers rings etc all genuine Ford and a change of oil n filter I thought (and most of you) it would cure it but it’s still there and it niggles me everyday ….
I also had one of them “carbon cleans” done and whilst doing so they plugged it in ….no fault codes whatsoever and they also showed me live running data if my injectors etc and all seemed to be fine ….
Van seems to run absolutely fine apart from a little puff of smoke when first start it runs well apart from this “rattle” which is more prominent when engine is cold …any advice or ideas of what else to try ? I’m sure my engine should be smoother n quieter ….it’s only done 78k

Does the noise follow engine rpm..?? Have the rockers been inspected for poorly rollers or lash adjuster issues..?? Rocker ladder bolts loose..??

Is it a tapping noise or more of a deeper thudding noise..??

Yes it definitely follows the engine rpm….and yes it’s a tapping noise and not a “thud”
More prominent when cold and it seems to be from the top of the engine which is why I first thought it was the injectors….

About 6 weeks after getting the van - there was a rattle - usually at start which lasted several mins - later the rattle occurred at various times.
Found the EGR cooler has been by passed - the metal pipe used to join the two hoses had found a place to rattle against. The bypass was supposed to have been done some 2 years before.
Perhaps by checking the harnesses and hoses the rattle might be found.
