Bilustunt@gmail.com Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hello everyone I’ve got a focus 1.0 ecoboost 16 plate at 63k. I’ve got a knocking noise coming from the right hand side of the engine on idle only and when I turn the car off the engine shakes and rattles and it goes thru the car it’s very strange, when I start it in the morning it really sounds like a diesel. Anyway the dealer has replaced the dual mass flywheel, and now claims that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle which is not true. I’ve had this problem for about a year and a half now, they don’t seem to be bothered. Any advise ? I’m attaching this YouTube video hopefully this is allowed, it features some other focus with the same engine noise, please listen carefully.

Criot Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Might be better off doing a video with bonnet open, it seems to sound pretty normal to me as it goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilustunt@gmail.com Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Update. I took the car to another dealer, left it with them they called me the next morning saying I need a new engine. Long story short I now have a new engine, new dmf +clutch but the problem is still there ? I know it’s strange however, on idle there is a tapping/knocking noise coming from the engine bay, it’s that bad it makes the front seats vibrate you can clearly see it and feel it however when I turn the ac on the vibration on the seats disappear. And the worst bit about it is that when I turn the vehicle off it shaaaakes badly you can feel it throughout the car. Has anybody had similar issues ? Any advice is much appreciated!

Criot Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Is it a brand new replacement engine or a second hand one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilustunt@gmail.com Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 I don’t know they didn’t tell me, but it apparently was about 2.5k so I don’t think it’s new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zLegacies Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Did you ever get this fixed or figure out what was causing the noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
