I recently purchased a Ford Mondeo and have noticed an unusual knocking sound coming from the engine. It seems to occur more frequently when the car is idling or at low speeds. Any idea what could be causing this issue?
ReplyHi Rachel, it's possible that the knocking sound is coming from an issue with your engine's spark plugs. They may need to be replaced or adjusted. I would recommend bringing your car to a certified Ford mechanic to have it checked out.
I had a similar issue with my Ford Mondeo and it turned out to be a problem with the timing belt. If it's been awhile since you've had it replaced, it may be causing the knocking sound. I would suggest having a mechanic check it out to be safe.
It's hard to diagnose the issue without actually hearing the knocking sound myself, but it could potentially be a problem with your car's oil. Make sure to check your oil levels and get an oil change if needed. If the problem persists, it may be worth taking your car to a mechanic for further inspection.
