MrKnoe Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hi all I have a rattling noise coming from my engine I'm suspecting it's the actuator. The car is a 1.0 ecoboost ZS The rattling comes In at 3k revs when stationary and when driving too. Also when releasing the accelerator when driving and letting it reduce the revs on it's own it rattles again at 1.5k revs anyone know what it might be?

MattDRX Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Heat shielding most likely, I had it on my 1.0, couldn't get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bounce Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Mine rattles on a cold start, goes away when I press the clutch or when I rev slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKnoe Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Just revved it on a cold start to 3k and the rattling is near gone it's mainly when warm so possibly heat shield? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Yes, once the revs get too high the pulses from the vibration cannot be heard clearly and you think it's gone away. Take it off, make it run cooler, just don't touch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKnoe Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I will try the heat shield see if that resolves anything I mY take it to fords for a diagnostic just to be sure. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Won't hurt to give it a go, if it sorts it take it back to Ford you'll have solid grounds to make them fix it, I tried but they said they couldn't hear anything. Was getting rid of the car so didn't pursue it. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
