Dessunman Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hi folks. Purchased a 15 plate focus zetec s 1.5 tdci (sheep in wolfs clothing) two days ago. After swaying over it and an Audi. It has the navigator extra and 18s. As soon as I saw it I was sold. However, noticing a knocking noise, very faint from the rear. Is this common? Any help is greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 On a new car no there shouldn't be any knocking from the rear at all since its new pop it back to the dealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessunman Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Thanks, will book it in. Just wasn't sure as its sport suspension apparently, in case it was just the stiffness of springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Btw, It's a MK3.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessunman Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Mk 3.5? New one on me. Why not just add a 1? Fair enough though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Mk 3.5? New one on me. Why not just add a 1? Fair enough thoughBecause it's just a facelift of the MK3 not a full new model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford_Man Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Keep this thread update please on your findings - interested :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessunman Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Update - the sound was the rear seats where the latch is to keep them secure, the metal rattling. Solved this by wrapping some light foam around the latch. Secured in place no more noise! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artscot79 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 To be fair its a relevant reply on the focus you have mk1 then a facelift which I the 1.5 then the mk2 and a facelift 2.5 mk3 facelift 3.5 if you went on some selling sites and bought a part for a mk4 it would actually be for the facelift mk2.5 hence why you were being reminded to help avoid future confusion As for the seat latches another method is to cut a piece of rubber tube down the centre so it slips over the catch and keep on with a dab of glue so you can lift the seats etc without fiddling with bits of foam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
