Hi dear S-max owners, mechanics, engineers, specialists and people who reading this post

I own a Ford Smax Vignale 2017, 2.0 litre duratorq, 207bhp, automatic gearbox, 56000miles. Beautifull lovely car with full spec.

Can someone help me please? Engine is ticking when cold in the morning and when is hot while driving at low revs in traffic especially - slightly uphil gradient - is knocking so loundly for as long as until increasing revs or lowering obviosly changing into a lower gear.

I had this issue in the last 5 months, i can't find what is causing it, im shamed with friends in the car because the car is only 3 years old but new to me.

 I purchased the car 6 months ago from Hendy Ford Horsham. Now they try to convince me that nothing is wrong (obviuosly there is costs under warranty), only Ford St Albans said to me is possible a faulty injector. All my videos provided to Hendy Ford Horsham they saying is not enough to produce a faulty part first time they changed for me only oil in the gearbox. Gate Ford St Albans branch are much serios changed the oil pressure solenoid because car went in limp mode 4 times and an error code P06DD was stored in the computer  memory. Im so disperate now, about how inconvinient is this knocking engine sound that is making me to think about other car manufactories and forget forever about Ford ... :(((

I hope to get some opinions and sugestions also i hope this to help others if they have same problems.

Hi, just wondering if you ever got anywhere with this? My car is doing exactly the same but haven’t had it looked at yet. Just wondering if you might be able to point me in the right direction when I drop it off at the dealership? 
 

thanks in advance for any and all help. 

Hi. So i had vehicle stuck in service 6 moths, july 2021 until jan 2022. Because 1injector snapped into cilinder head and major delays was with the part. After this fitted new cilinder head, new 4x injectors, new EGR valve and result = zero. As was knocking loud and crazy between speed bumps, is still doing now at 80.000 miles on clock. I can't wait to replace it. I will NEVER buy ford again,  never.
