Chuddey Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 hi, I have a 2006 1.8TDCI done about 82k. When the engine reaches its normal temp an annoying ticking noise appears, more noticably inside the car, recently had a cam belt and pulley change. I have tried a flush, oil and filter change with no joy. There is no other running problems, runs sweet. Any body had a similar problem?

IINexusII Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hi, when did this noise start? i have a similar issue and a knock sensor reset helped abit, but i think its due a valve adjustment or something (im on 154k now) or the cam chain itself maknig the noise, i dont know. the car runs fine and even re-mapped so i dont really care. do you have a sound clip of the noise?

Kcr4cer Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi, any luck on this? I have a 53 focus 1.8 tdci which is making a loud ticking noise. It ticks in time with the engine ticking over. And also increases when I accelerate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_60 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Ticking is usually the injectors Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kcr4cer Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yeah that would make sense with mine Jamie, because when it's cold it will start but cut out after a couple of seconds, it's like it's not getting fuel, I have also noticed a diesel smell in the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IINexusII Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 check the fuel return pipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IINexusII Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 they are plastic pipes that come off each injector and all join into one rail, which go back towards the fuel pump to be sent back through the system. they can become brittle and crack causing leaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kcr4cer Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I will check that, thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_60 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Also If you can smell diesel, Get the injector seals checked, This problem usually occurs on the 1.4tdci (fiesta/fusion) Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kcr4cer Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I have checked them and they seem ok, got no fumes in the car, but a mate of mine who is a former ford mechanic has said it's definitely coming from the crankshaft area, I have had a quick look at the crankshaft but nothing is immediately visible, will have a more thorough look tomorrow as I am pushed for time today. Thanks for suggestions, because even if that's not the problem it's worth eliminating theses things. I also have a feeling that the starting problem and the ticking are separate things :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie press Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 We have a ford focus 1 8 bought in 2009 Recently a loud ticking noise in the engine appeared whilst starting up and when running around villages When it runs at 70 mph it seems ok but is smoking alot when starts up and sounds terrible We've been told it could be the pistons in engine but they ain't sure We are on the verge of having to purchase a new car ..does anyone know any other thing it could be and if we should give up hope now and trade it in or continue to run it ??

Siemens supplied a very large batch of very crap injectors end of 2008 and into 2009 which were prone to early failure and causing very poor running. It may not be the root cause but if it is it'll cost far too much to replace all 4 injectors for it to be worth it on a 2009 plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
