Maccbrew Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hi all I have a strange problem with our 2014 1.6 ecoboost galaxy. About once a minute there is a noise that sounds like a stuck brake releasing or similar. It is noticeable at low speed. The strange thing is the noise happens when the car is stationary and my foot is nowhere near the brake. I have just been sat waiting in a car park and it does the same 'clunk' about every minute - but not like clockwork. The noise is similar to when I had a sticking electronic handbrake which used to take a second to release and felt a bit sticky. Any ideas?

alexp999 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Is the A/C on when it does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccbrew Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Yes - it will have been on. What are you thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The A/C on the Fiesta has a really loud compressor clutch, I used to hear it even with the windows up if the radio wasn't turned up very loud. It's an electro-magnet engaging and disengaging as needed by the A/C. I haven't really noticed it on the Focus, but it wouldn't surprised me if other Fords are the same. Next time it does it, try turning A/C off and see if it shuts up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
