Why is my Ford EcoSport making a strange rattling noise?

I recently purchased a Ford EcoSport and have noticed a strange rattling noise coming from the engine. It only happens when I first start the car and then goes away after a few minutes. Any idea what could be causing this?

It sounds like you may have a loose heat shield or exhaust component. I would recommend taking your EcoSport to a certified mechanic to have it inspected and repaired, if necessary. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Did you check your oil levels? Sometimes a low oil level can cause strange engine noises. Also, make sure to check for any oil leaks.

I have a Ford EcoSport as well and experienced a similar issue. It turned out to be a loose belt tensioner. Have a professional take a look, as it could be a simple fix.
