marco58I Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi, I've got a 09 focus 1.6 petrol with only 34k, but when you start it up from cold, it sounds like a diesel, once warm, its nice & quiet, I've recently given it a magnatec oil change hoping to cure this, but no joy!, can anybody help please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incontro Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Haha, that's just a characteristic of ye old Duratec engine, nothing to worry about. Mine is also rough & sounds like that when cold - it sounds 'tappety'. Once warmed up properly, it is noticeably smoother/quieter. They are quite reliable engines, provided you service it regularly. EDIT: This is assuming you have the 100PS engine, and not the 115PS Ti-VCT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
