Clicking sound from engine

[Guest]

Hi all, 

I've had a 18 ref fiesta for around 9 months, had it since new. Loving the car.

It seems to have developed a clicking sound from the engine, almost sounds like a diesel.

I recorded a clip so you can hear it https://www.dropbox.com/s/85xiw2jym9o1as5/Record-001?dl=0

I've got it booked in with the dealer on Monday, they were very quick to ask to see it which isn't normal for them. 

Anyone have any ideas what it may be? 

Don't have any lights on, oil level looks fine (find it hard to tell with dipsticks). 

Appreciate anyone's comments :)

you don't say what engine but it sounds like a 1.0 EcoBoost to me with the bonnet open?  I couldn't hear anything out of the ordinary.

Huh you have a very good ear for engines 😄

I did forget to say, it is a 1.0 EcoBoost with the bonnet open.

Maybe it is normal, not noticed it before just sounds like something is hitting. That will help me feel better knowing it may be normal though.

The Ecoboost design is such that it is very much essentially a diesel engine that just happens to run on petrol - a turbo, high pressure direct injection, high compression ratios, mechanical fuels pumps etc are all design characteristics typically found on a diesel engine. The noise you are hearing is primarily a combination of the fuel pump and injectors and is perfectly normal.

So had it checked today and yep all normal! I think I'm just so paranoid about new sounds lol.
