It’s had a full service and new plugs this summer and have just put premium fuel in but to no avail. does anyone have any ideas please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanfp Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I think that the power train is still under warranty. So maybe a trip to your local dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I think this has been looked in to before (last year I think) and the extended powertrain warranty is only for the North American market. There is no harm in trying, John might get lucky or at the very least they may tell him whats wrong. Using FORScan and the vLinker cable should show the DTC which must be stored. Is the car manual or automatic ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John simmo Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Thanks for the help so far, the car is a manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John simmo Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 The fault came up back in the summer, as the car was due a service I had it done and it has only started again in the last few weeks. my local garage has said the fault displays as combustion fault. They have also mentioned the knock sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 HI John, we really need the Ford DTC information which you can get yourself using FORScan. It is possible that you have a faulty knock sensor, or that you do in fact have a slight misfire under certain conditions. Either way the DTC's stored will give information that will help point you in the direction of the fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi All, Im having the same problem, used a scan tool got code P130D which is the knock sensor, car is 2019 Mk4 focus Ecoboost just out of warranty. Does anybody know if these sensors do go bad, the car has only done 19,000 miles, also is it best to get a ford replacement or one from the motor factors which will be a lot cheaper.

SB active X estate Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I’m experiencing the same fault intermittently too. Only twice, once in September on wet windy drive and last night also. Both times had been driving for about 4 and a half hours before it came on. Both times reset with engine restart. Mine is 69plate manual 1.5 ecoboost (150), done about 53k from new. DTC showing P130D knock sensor. Discussed with my local garage who do all my servicing, who can’t find any issues so think it may be a faulty sensor. Not too serious at the moment but may get the sensor replaced in the new year which is not a big job. Has anyone else had any luck diagnosing this further? Hoping it’s just a poor sensor and nothing more serious. I’m out of warranty now typically! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickychips Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I'm getting the same issue with my car aswel 2019 1.0 Any way of telling if its a faulty sensor or if my engine is knocking? Also I'm getting a abs code, is that related? It won't clear either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a thread on it somewhere on here and I'm certain its mentioned on there. There was also another update done at the same time which the Lady at the service desk couldn't/ wouldnt tell me what it was for. It was after these updates that the oil Life reset was removed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
