johnnyshapperz Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hi Guys, I've got an issue with my Fiesta ST 16 plate where there is a tapping/ticking noise at idle but only when the engine is hot (see video). I've took a couple of months ago to a dealer and they say it is an issue and they have reported it but there was no fix. I've done some research and seen that a oil change to a different spec was a fix, i went back to the dealer with this info and they said that fix has now been withdrawn and there currently isn't one but being investigated. I was wondering whether anyone else has had this issue and what fixes have been done, and what the cause might be. Not sure what to do next as the noise doesn't seem to be getting any better! Any suggestions will be great! Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 That sounds more like a diesel! Hopefully someone will be able to help you out. At least youve got 3 years warranty on it so i wouldnt worry too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyshapperz Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Yeah I know right! not sounding that healthy, the warranty is a good thing just as long as something isn't gradually wearing out which goes just after that ends. That would be just my luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatto Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 There's a guy on my street with an ST that sounds like that. Think it's about 2 years old but he drives it like an idiot, bouncing it off the rev limiter from a cold start and generally driving like a lunatic. No mechanical sympathy whatsoever. Hope you have been treating yours with more respect and it's just an unlucky occurence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyshapperz Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 I drive mine the opposite to that haha, love the car! Let it warm up where possible first and idle after a drive. Just odd can't work out what the cause seems to be or what to do about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
