BenTaylor20 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Hi Guys, I recently bought a Ford Edge 2016 2.0 210 which is a great car but noticed on the first start each morning when cold, car being left for 10 hours or so, that there seems to be quite a prominent knock. This knock reduces in sound once the engine is up to operating temperature and increases with engine RPM. This is my first diesel so could just be that I need to get used to the noise but if anybody has the same engine and could clarify whether this sounds normal or not it would be my mind at ease.

DaveT70 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Sounds like a normal diesel to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTaylor20 Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Thanks for replying. There is a knock sound behind the normal diesel engine noise that I can hear unless that is normal too but it’s much louder on startup. Was worried about piston slap etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT70 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 All diesels knock when they're cold, if you're concerned and don't know when the oil was last changed, change the oil and filter Use good quality diesel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTaylor20 Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Cheers. I changed the oil and all filters last weekend and it sounds exactly the same. Put a full tank of premium in and some redex too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2.0 Ecoblue and it sounds very similar first thing in the morning, it's just the way diesel engines are 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenTaylor20 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Took to a mechanic yesterday and he said he can hear a knock but can’t identify where it is coming from and that a ford specialist will need to listen to worn out where it is coming from.

BenTaylor20 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Took to Ford and they said there is a knock/tapping on cold but as it goes away and dies down when the engine is up to operating temperature then not to worry about it. It could be a tappet/lifter or injector but was told its a needle in a haystack. If the noise gets worse or changes and a problem develops, then to take it back.
