Ecoboost Gearbox Noise

[ghsaunders40]

Hi all. We've just collected a 100 ps ecoboost manual last week. It's 1 year old and from a ford dealer with 12k on it.

How quiet are the gearboxes on these cars? I've noticed to day ours has a whine when accelerating in 1st and 2nd. Nothing major, and you can't hear it when showing down.

Is this normal? Not had a chance to call the garage yet.

Thanks. Gh.

Mines about 18 months with 14000 and it whines a bit too so it sounds normal to me.

Thanks for the reply. I thought so too, it does not sound sinister ( if that makes any sense). I've come from Fiat that broke down every time I looked at it, so probably over sensitive to any noise.

I've a 1.6 ZS and get a slight whine in 2nd gear. Nothing sinister mate it's fine.

Hi. I bought my 1.6tdci with 17k on it. After I had it about 6 months the gearbox sounded a little noisier than when I first got it. I had the gearbox oil level checked and it was low. Got it topped up and the noise went. I suggest you get it checked
