shockwavexr6t Member 50 Member For: 20y 10d Posted 10/05/05 08:15 AM Share Posted 10/05/05 08:15 AM Just got xr6t Ute very happy until the following happened. I started the car this morning and it started making a clunking metal sound, then it sounded like lifters making a sound like pumping oil, it did this for about 5 minutes until I touch the gas pedal. The sound seem to go away, Then the diff started to clunk. I had heard about the diff but the engine making this sound.• Motor sound• Scratched dash prior delivery• Rear tray Ute skewed to the right. You can slide your hand between the tray and the cab chassis on one side and on the other side lucky to get the tip of your fingers in.• Right side of rear bumper bar out by about 1.5 cm other side sits flushFront bonnet .3mm gap on one side the other about 1.2cm• Passenger side door strip bubbles under the paint could be the surface was contaminated when it was paintedYour feedback would be appreciated. The cars only done 600k's and already having dramas Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17503-clunking-sound-from-engine-only-600kms/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the dealer and hopefully they sort out everything quickly for youShane Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17503-clunking-sound-from-engine-only-600kms/#findComment-251525 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickq Member 740 Member For: 21y 11m 23d Posted 10/05/05 12:56 PM Share Posted 10/05/05 12:56 PM Sounds like a car made on a Friday arvo or Monday morning...Id put them all on the list for adressing at your 3000km service. Find a good service agent and I am sure they will addrss them.If they say "its within Ford standards" ask for written documentation showing what the standard is.Your panels being so badly fitted does not sound acceptable.Re the engine thing, if its a worry, go see your local service place and get them to hear it and comment. Better to get them to see it before something goes wrong in a big way. (Unlikely, but if you are concerned, better to be sure). I get light tapping/ticking from my engine. Both on my first and new T. Apparently normal injector noise.
