Why is my Ford S-Max engine making a strange noise?

I recently purchased a Ford S-Max and have noticed a strange noise coming from the engine. It's not a constant noise, but it seems to happen sporadically. Should I be concerned about this or is it normal for this type of vehicle?

It is always a good idea to have strange noises checked out by a mechanic, especially since you just purchased the vehicle. It could be something as simple as a loose belt or it could indicate a larger issue.

I also have a Ford S-Max and have had similar experiences with strange engine noises. In my case, it turned out to be a faulty fuel injector. I would recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic to be safe.

I have a friend who owns a Ford S-Max and he had a similar issue with the engine making strange noises. It turned out to be a loose engine mount. I would advise having the vehicle checked by a mechanic just in case.
