DaveT70 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Yes, very rattly at idle and generally very noisey over all. Sounds like a dodgy tappet or the input shaft bearings are worn, it's neither, it's the injectors opening and closing Totally normal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have this issue with 1.5 diesel https://youtu.be/v_i9Bmzxu2k https://youtu.be/-MbdASzpboQ Good evening Remy! I bought exactly the same car new, 3 months ago from a greek dealership. I have the same issue when my engine is cold, even with 22 degrees celcium outside temperature. I have tried all the different types of diesel,(Shell DIESEL V POWER, BP ULTIMATE ETC) but it still rattles... It makes me mad because i have only 4.000 kilometers on the odometer...it is still a brand new engine!!!! I am still breaking in its engine and i want to go to Ford service to ask them about these sounds but due to coronavirus i can not at the moment... Is it something that will become a serious problem for my engine at the future? I have 8 years of guarantee and i will demand to fix it for free!!! Have a nice afternoon!!! Thanks in advance for your answers!!! Greetings from warm and sunny Athens/Greece!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 It is not a problem but just a characteristic of this engine. You either have to accept this or get rid of the car. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my first time buying a diesel... Some things are not so familiar to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT70 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 The MK3.5 1.5 TDCi was so quiet that the difference between the MK3.5 and MK4 is quite noticeable. It's nothing to worry about though. Shell or BP super diesel does quieten it down a little bit, but the extra cost and zero difference to MPG doesn't justify the spend. Turn the radio up 😀 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis94040 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Good evening everybody!!! I now have a new problem... When my engine warms up properly, wobbling starts at idle every two seconds...idle correct,two seconds, wobble, idle correct,two seconds after engine wobbles again...it is very annoying because it is transfering inside the car as a short shaking...The idle rpms stay stable and the fuel consumption have been rised a little bit... Is it an injector issue?I only have 11.500 miles on the odo...it is a brand new car for crying out loud...I called Ford's mechanics for the issue and they told me that it might be a not proper fuel problem....and i always use a high ketane diesel for my car from Shell or BP fuel stations...Does anyone have the same issue? Thanks a lot in advance!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to do such a thing but here plain diesel is full of bio-***** and it is worthless for every diesel engine...you see, Greece has no goverment checks to the gas stations so they adulterate everything from the plain diesel to the high ketane one... So i prefer paying the high ketane diesel because in fact it is the normal diesel with no adulteration at all😂😂😂. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
