I've noticed that my Ford Transit Custom's engine has started making a loud ticking noise while idling. It seems to go away when I rev the engine, but then comes back once the car is back to idle. It's running fine otherwise, but the noise is concerning. What could be causing this and what steps should I take to fix it?
ReplyThe loud ticking noise in your engine could be caused by a few different things. One possibility is that your engine is low on oil, which can cause the components to rub against each other and make a ticking sound. Another potential cause could be worn out lifters or a faulty valve train. I recommend checking your oil level and if it's low, topping it off and seeing if that solves the issue. If not, it's best to take your car to a trusted mechanic for a closer inspection.
This is a common issue with Ford Transit Custom cars. The ticking noise is usually caused by a faulty valve train, which needs to be replaced. It's best to take your car to a certified Ford mechanic for this repair. They will be able to diagnose the issue and fix it properly.
