I recently bought a Ford S-Max and it's been making a strange noise from the engine. It sounds like a knocking or tapping noise. I'm not sure if this is normal or if it's something I should be worried about. Can someone please advise me on what to do?
ReplyHi Maria, thanks for reaching out. It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to car noises. The knocking or tapping noise from your engine could indicate a number of issues, such as low oil pressure, worn out bearings, or even a faulty valve. I suggest taking your Ford S-Max to a mechanic for a thorough inspection.
Hey Maria, I have the same car and have experienced a similar noise from the engine. After doing some research, I found out that it could be caused by a buildup of carbon deposits in the engine. I recommend using a fuel system cleaner specifically designed for Ford cars to help clear the deposits and eliminate the noise.
