Fiesta Engine Noise - What To Do Now ?

Featured Replies

Hi

I had a post a few weeks ago about my 2011 fiesta zetec s with the Ti-vct engine about it being noisy when first started in the morning, I've only had the car about 6 weeks, recently it's gotten noisier so I booked it in with the dealer I got it from for them to look at under warranty, there master tech was unsure about it but confirmed it had a knock.

They did a oil flush and changed the oil and filter, I tried the car over the weekend and it was still the same, so I took it back in and the dealer took it to ford but ford say it's perfect when it's not.

I've been to another garage and they say there is something wrong with it and it's not right when it's only covered 20k on a 2011 plate, I've heard other cars with the same engine and they are quiet compared to mine even ones that have more then double the mileage, also it's starting to get noisy when warm now.

So I would like any help on where I stand with the car and what would recommend doing next, they had two attempts at trying to fix it but have not, would the next step be to go to trading standards ?

Thanks in advance for any help/info , I really am at a loss with it

Demand your money back. The dealer has confirmed the problem.

The car is on finance and I got the car from a Seat dealer, the manager keeps saying there not specialist in ford and not sure on the engines etc, so that's why they sent it to ford and because ford said it's fine that's what they are going with even tho there master tech said it knocks
