Surprised Ford says any different - unless it's a different noise to the one we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can hear it the loudest through the front grill. I could've sworn it was coming from the timing case area, but the screwdriver stethoscope tells me its the idler pulley. Apparently its common, there are a couple of other posts about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
