I seem to get a clicking sound when using the 'sports' mode. When selecting sports mode and holding it in gear I hear clicking sounds at a point where I think it should be chasnging gear in D for drive. Is this what you are hearing? Is this normal??

Is the clicking noise when you turn mate?

When I posted a question about this I was told that it is something to do with your power steering rack. There are shims that can be put in there to make the clicking stop but as far as I know it doesn't hurt any thing it is only annoying to listen to. Someone more experienced can probably confirm this.

that clicking noise is th rack rubbing on the crossmember, u undo th 2 nuts on th rack mounting studs, file off the burrs, put a washer in that u can get from ford for the steering click TSB ( I could prob gert you th TSB and part number if u need) and grease it up and re bolt it up.

hope this helps,

cheers Dale

Hi All, I'm also experiencing a similar sound or clunk noise in my FG XR6T that has 6000kms on the clock. I hadn't notice this initially when driving from the dealership but not long after when I returned to earth from the XR6T experience I noticed a clunk sound from the engine bay when driving off at low speed (under 10km).

This sound only occurs from initial start-up & then occurs when driving off at low speed & doesn't occur thereafter. One thing I've noticed is that the sound is becoming fainter as the K/ms increase on the car. Reading this forum topic I'm assuming that this may be the ABS priming itself but I'm not sure? Any feedback would be appreciated as I recently I had my 3000km service to which Ford stated they didn't hear anything that was concerning which is Buls*%t as at that time it was as noticeable as closing your door. Also when I checked my tyre pressures after the service they all varied, 35psi on the fronts, 38 on one rear & 42 on the other. Now I've been supplied a customer survey form from the dealership which I was intending to give them a rightful servicing but thought with record keeping & day & age they may review & create more grievance for me if I was to go back for the next 15,000km service. Again any suggestions or possibilities regarding this sound would be appreciated!!! Cheers!!!
