matthew1kings Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi all, I've had my brand new 15 plate fiesta red edition now for 4 days and I love everything about the car except 1 problem, in all gears no matter wether it's light acceleration or heavy acceleration there is a rattle from the front area which I'm assuming is engine or gearbox related from low Rpm such as 1200 and above. It happens when the engine is both cold and hot and when it's revved say in neutral there's a metallic sound sort of like I don't know a chain on mountain bike. I'm going to be taking it into fords but driving along with this rattle is intolerable. Anyone have ideas why it's got this rattle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew1kings Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I forgot to mention that I've noticed that the rattle stops when the clutch is depressed such as when changing gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riordian Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Maybe the clutch needs to be greased then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew1kings Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem has yours been fixed or looked at? Is it still rattling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgooderham94 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I haven't yet no. It's not really loud and I'm not sure if that's just what the engine is like I am extremely picky with my cars though so it's probably nothing. Are you getting yours checked?
