Peachy Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 New to the Forum and hope i can get some help here? Have Bought and driven a Focus 1.8 TD estate 2001 (Endura D1 Engine)for about 3 wks now no problem till yesterday? Started the car bit of a misfire but cleared,but then once you reach 3000rpm,sounds like all hell has let loose,a bag of nails. Dosen't change note or performance alters just very noisy. Scared to drive it now,seems fine on idle except for the ocassional misfire. can anyone suggest where to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alz Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 with out hearing the car,, my best guest is to have a look at the timing belt, it is possible it may have slipped. just one tooth out will make it sound rough, to check the timing you need a pining kit.

jeebowhite Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 check your exhaust manifold and ensure that the brackets havent rusted through, saw this only the other day... it does make it sound much more noisy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
