Injectors? Are you listening via a screwdriver?

Are you talking about the tensioner? Mine has been making a bit of a tick/rattle noise. Put a screwdriver on the tensioner arm while the car is running and you should be able to feel it if that is it

Whatever you're hearing, go to the Ford guy and see if you can have a listen to two other brand new cars maybe?

That tensioner that Cheyne_351 mentioned is common to need replacing though.

The noises make the engine sound crap.

In general the noises will not always be present, but, they will likely manifest after a hot run when the engine is at idle.

The fix is simple, easy, fast and cheap.

1 Get genuine parts from a Ford dealer:

  • Pulley circa $25
  • Tensioner circa $90 (this includes the whole assembly with the metal body, internal tension mechanism and both pulleys)

Don't mess with non-genuine parts. It is a waste of time.

2 Total changeover time for the pulley and the tensioner for a first timer ---> 20-30 minutes

  • just remember to remove the thermo fan plate before you try to do anything
  • thermo fan plate removal --> unclip electrics, undo two bolts visible on the side of the plate and then carefully slide the plate vertically up through its track)
  • the tensioner comes off as a whole assembly, just remove the center bolt.
