I recently bought a 2006 1.8 tdci focus, can hear something slightly rattling around in the engine when stationary and if i was to put my clutch foot to the floor and lift it slowly half way up the noise changes in the engine then goes back to normal when i put it back down its not bad at the minute but id rather get it done sooner than later. Im sure someone on here has experiencend something similar to this. Would be much appreciated for the feedback 👍🏻

When the DMF failed on my 2003/53 Focus 1.8tdci I don't remember a rattling noise like you describe but I did have a problem restarting the engine when hot. To demonstrate to the garage I went straight to the dealer after a 100 mile drive then demonstrated the noise when trying (and failing) to restart. It was horrendous- the service manager had never heard anything like it. I don't know how they diagnosed it but luckily Ford covered the cost

Thats good then atleast it didnt come out your pocket, it sounds more like something is loose and swinging around in there to be honest, i dont know much about cars so just wanted to get abit of a incline before i take it to my mechanic
