1004ron Posted Saturday at 03:06 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 03:06 PM (edited) Is this your own vehicle and if so have you noticed any performance impact at the onset of the noise? As a test you could run it with the serpentine belt removed. Edited Saturday at 04:29 PM by 1004ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Edge Posted Saturday at 03:13 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 03:13 PM How long has this noise been an issue? Other than that, you haven't specified anything about vehicle maintenance, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh4ever Posted yesterday at 10:51 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:51 AM My 2024 has a similar sounding noise but certainly not near as loud. I can't hear it inside the car, but pop the hood... and it sounds like a noise that not suppose to be there on a newer car. I will try to pin point mine with a sethascope and I will be asking the dealer about it too. I read somewhere the high pressure fuel pump can be noisy like this. my daughter's 2006 focus has a similar noise and intensity and it almost sounds like the intake valves clattering under the valve cover. Turns out the intake manifold runner has some wear and it clatters quite loudly. Seems this was an issue in those early focus's. Do let us know what you find out on yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted yesterday at 11:35 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 11:35 AM Is this one of the models where Ford did away with the aesthetic / acoustic cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure what you are hearing is not just the fuel injectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh4ever Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Port injectors are normally pretty quiet. I don't know how loud the direct injection injectors are suppose to be. My 2024 does seem noisy to someone who has never had direct injection, and kinda matches the ticking sound and frequency like in vincents video, just not as loud. I dont know how I missed that when I was buying the car. I did not pick up on it until about few months ago when I raised the hood, and it seemed a lot louder then, maybe because it was the fist time hearing it. Vincent... look between the two wiring labels (the top label has K17 on it), there is something that looks like a oil "bubbling" between the intake manifold, head and valve cover. Is that an illusion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
