JONATHAN_11_80 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Think this problem was resolved by 2005 think it was the early mondeo's with this engine that suffered. The common symptom is a loud ticking/knocking noise when revving the engine. This can sound like terminal engine damage (Big end noise) but is usually the swirl flaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
