The ford mechanic I’ve taken it too does not know what’s going on. He has ruled out the cat converter and thinks it might be something to do with the turbo.Does this sound like a gasket or a drive belt? Please help!

It is hard to diagnose because by the time I get to the mechanic it has stopped and will not do it again properly until the car is cooled down.

If its the head it would be the lifters not getting enough oil when cold. How loud is it? I know injectors make a ticking sound. As for the screech it may be the fan belt.

nickcoul Member 21 Member For: 16y 4m 12d Posted 19/04/10 10:29 AM Share Posted 19/04/10 10:29 AM my car has same noise, but the last two days its no longer only on idle, its very slightly there under normal driving too, much louder on startup.My mechanic had mentioned my manifold gasket was worn and it will need replacing soon, so im hoping this is the issue otherwise that two problems to fix, its going to the mechanic this week so I'll let you know.I dont expect a small bill considering all the bits need to come off. Ill keep you posted Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/67222-help-needed-to-identify-problem/#findComment-1001778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
