Pebbleheed Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Does anyone else’s ecoboost focus have a rattle at the low end when putting the revs on? If I’m stationary and put my foot down, not hard, there’s a rattle as the revs increase. Not sure if it’s somethibf loose inside the car, something rattling in the engine or if it’s all perfectly fine and that’s what they do? It sounds like a chain rattling. I’ve filmed it and uploaded it here if anyone can advise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJTrollin Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Is it just on the low end? Sounds like a stuck valve or something. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebbleheed Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Yep. As far as I know. And I only notice it when stationary. If driving I don’t tend to notice it. If the revs keep increasing it vanishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yokomoko Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 What ecoboost engine do you have? I've heard of issues with the 1.5L that Ford have said is 'by design' but is clearly a fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJTrollin Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Ah. That explains it. Check your coolant levels. They're having head gasket issuesSent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebbleheed Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Coolant looks OK at present. I checked it over several days. It’s not gone down at all. Does this sound like a fault and should I get it to a garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJTrollin Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Any codes? Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebbleheed Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Just the one. But not sure what this one relates to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pebbleheed Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Yeah I tried doing that before but the best I could find was http://www.talkford.com/community/topic/240299-dtc-code-nos/?utm_source=FordOwnersClub&utm_medium=ForumLinks&utm_campaign=referrals which doesn’t give me much to go on.

Pebbleheed Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 My car just had a full service. The garage said there’s no problem. It also drives fine, so I’m hoping it’s nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pebbleheed Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Is it something that warrants further investigation? The car just had a full service and the garage said they didn’t see a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pebbleheed Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 I’m not too up on my technical engine stuff. I’ve had a google but can’t see any accurate information on this engine. There’s quite a few other ecoboost engines with this issue it seems but their different vehicles altogether and still no answer as to what it is yet.

Pebbleheed Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 The problem is now fixed! My alternator died so I took it to the garage. They put a new alternator in and now this rattle has gone completely. I don’t know what it was but suspect they fixed something that was lose while taking bits out to replace the alternator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
