Anything in a cubby holder or under the wheel arch?

Mine seems to have gone - be very intermittent. However when I have my music on loud occasionally my passenger speaker will rattle/distort a little (old couple must have had classical on too loud!). I think my rattle is either something in the speaker or my dashcam wire.... but doesn't annoy me as much as it did. Hopefully all rattles gone......for now.

Need to check wheel arch not sure really if it coming from outside its like coming from seatbelt or where speaker is

Turns out mine wasn't my wire. It came back today with vengeance. I heard it coming from the front left and as I leaned my head over the sound moved to the centre console, as I leaned even further it sounded like it came from the right hand side of the car. I then had an epiphany and realised it was coming from above! I pressed the covering of the interior map light (the 3 front ones) and presto! All stopped! Think I had a rattly map light and now is all gone. Can finally listen to music and drive, knowing full well when it comes back I have a cure! Hopefully its the end of it haha. 

I have a 12 plate Zetec, 36,000 miles and I've owned it for well 3 weeks, !!

when going over potholes at a low speed I have a rattle/clunk on the front passenger side.

Took it back to dealership who say there isn't a problem with shocks, but they can hear a rattle/vibration.

It has to go back to be striped down, they have said its safe to drive. 

Any advice anyone?

I think it could be a strut/wheel bearing or a snapped/broken coil-spring.

When you full lock the steering wheel, you may also hear a "clunk" then too if it's any of the aforementioned issues.

Estimate cost around £160 to replace coil-spring and strut bearing from independent garage, no idea how much Ford would charge. Hopefully in your case around that price, if not cheaper since you most likely don't need a new coil-spring; since any mechanic would have picked it up just by a visual check.

I still think it will be the strut bearing causing the issue, hopefully nothing more.

All the best. :)

On mine cannot find where it is coming from ! Very annoying ! Coming kind of from seatbelt or where speaker is ! But cannot find way to open it where speaker is ! And check

Something rattles in my car too, of course being a Fiesta, it's sold as a subliminal feature haha. The sound comes from one of the rear passenger seats along with a little squeak.

To be honest, most of the time I listen to music with a lot of bass so it doesn't bother me, haha. :P

Thank you.. I don't put the steering lock on tbh, it goes into dealership tomorrow so will know by the end of the day.  Sounds almost like pottery breaking when it goes over a pothole. Visual checks by mechanic have said they can't see anything.  so Il wait to hear, and post it tomorrow.

 

Kind regards

Hi,

 

Had a call at 5.15pm, to ask if they can keep the car for another day.  They are not entirely sure where the noise is coming from, however they can hear it too,  so would like another day to solve it. Hopefully a positive outcome tomorrow.

I did think I say about strut bearing,  but thought id give them the opportunity of discovering for themselves, they have said they will contact Ford directly tomorrow if they are unable to discover what it is.

 

Let us no tomorrow 

Hi All,

 

It turns out to be the drive shaft bearing.. Now Replaced and returned.. Steering which I thought previously to be quite light, is now a lot tighter and there is no noise. It was all under

warranty, flipping good job too.

 

 

 

 

I have a 2015 zetec s  and have aa rattle coming from drivers side seat belt/ door area . temp doesn't make a difference , have proded and pushed and held what I can but everything seems tight . really starting to annoy me now.

Same in mine mate. I've got a fez Zetec. Both seatbelt sliders rattle like crazy. More so the passengers side as apposed to mine. I can't really solve the issue, it sounds like a loose screw tapping against plastic or metal...

Had exactly the SAME ones in my company car. It always happened when setting off (when car 'shook' a bit). Not necessarily shook but when engine was under some strain setting off.

I was unsure if it was rear seats at first but think it was seatbelt sliders. Try taking the black cap off the screw on the base of seatbelt and tightening it? I couldn't locate mine befoe I gave the car back but luckily my new one doesnt have the issue....yet. IM RATTLE FREE SINCE JAN 16!

Neither could I but I was unsure if the nut behind it could be tightened? I think its either the black bar (that the seatbelt is attached to) that rattles into the floor/side of the car, or the metal buckle rattling on the black bar due to the nut being loose?

Its definately from the slider or black clasp on the slider. Not a Scooby how to solve this one though. Nothing seems to clip off from it all.

As silly as this might sound, try and tighten it up (To try and prevent both the bar/slider shaking). I.E Get the base of the seatbelt which is attached directly to car (which doesn't pull out). Keep it tight and tie it around somewhere for the time being (I.E Around passenger headrest). Make sure its pulling the sliding bar etc as tight as possible - see if it still rattles. It'll look ridiculous but drive it around the block - no rattling means your in the right area and can look at it in more detail.

 

Or wedge a load of towels down there/pack in the black bar to stop it from rattling. (On your Fiesta, I can't remember, but is there a black sliding bar or is it connected directly to the floor - i know on my 3 door I have a thin black bar as the seatbelts are further back in a 3 door). It could be the plastic covering on the seat, or the seat mechanism (the twist knob that makes seat angle change).

 

Just ideas haha, it drove me mad and was loud in my old car

well that was a load of crap, rattle still there.  Had a longish type journey today. 40 miles. going over potholes in the road the rattle was back, passenger front exactly where it was before. Rang dealership who told me to have a long drive with one of their technicians because it could be he wasn't keyed into the noise!!

So tomorrow one very upset fiesta owner will take the technician for a lovely pot holey drive.. Is there a fault with drive shafts on fiesta's anyone know.

was out today after work to see if I could find this !Removed! rattle . I'm not 100% sure yet but think I'm close . I stuck some rolled up anti slip mat into the top slot where the seat belt comes out from to jam the hanger/slider bit that the seat belt runs through .and it definitely made it quieter. going to do this on a few runs with and without the anti slip to see               if it definitely is this.

if it is this I will need to figure how to get the plastic trim off to see f it can be tightened      

quick up date. stuffed the anti slip mat back into the top slop and although it was quieter it didn't cure it ( bugger) although I did notice the rear driver side panel where the speaker and cubby are is loose in the middle ( the other side is solid ) so going for run with the wife in back to hold/ push it in to see if it is.

2nd time lucky.. apparently it was the wheel bearing I collected it today and took it for a long drive.  no sound at all.  I did notice on full turning  of the steering wheel a slight rubbing noise but id guess that's normal after having new ones put in. if it continues after a few days il take it back.
