bilal Member 14 Member For: 14y 10m 13d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/07/10 07:16 AM Author Share Posted 23/07/10 07:16 AM I have this tapping noise also in roughly the same place you have mentioned. But it only seems to turn up after the car is warmed up after a 15min drive or so. Is your car similar or does do it do it when its cold aswell?Which test is more accurate a leak down test or a compression test?Yes it only happens when the car is warm. Once I get it checked out I will let you know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They guy I bought it from had a 5 year extended warranty so I'm hoping it will cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilal Member 14 Member For: 14y 10m 13d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 26/07/10 02:56 AM Author Share Posted 26/07/10 02:56 AM Ok so I have spoken to ford, and they have told me that I need a new bottom end. They just told me to submit the papers with the warranty company because I havnt transferred the warranty over from the previous owner, and they will take care of it. Apparently I need a new bottom end, something to do with 5 and 6 gears and ive apparently spun a bearing around. They said once ive completed the paper work, they will get someone to come down and assess it and get a quote to give back to the warranty company and all should be well. I will let you guys know in more detail what the problem is when I go to pick up my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilal Member 14 Member For: 14y 10m 13d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 11/08/10 04:07 AM Author Share Posted 11/08/10 04:07 AM Alright guys so I've found out what the problem is.Ford have said that it was a bent rod, and also the bearing for the 5th cylinder as well as the con rod bearings.They have replaced all of the conrods with stronger ones and the bearings for the 5th and 6th cylinders. They have also replaced the ignition coils as a precaution.lucky for me the whole lot was covered under warranty so I got really lucky.thanks for all your help, you guys rock!
