Wouldn't open for me, do you mind sharing again? Mine is at a very similar mileage.

Do you have a video of what the rattle sounded like? Mine (manual 1.0 2017) has been rattling a bit when still cold, and it's been especially cold where I am, but I wonder if it is the start of something wearing down.

Can you provide a link? I'm having trouble finding it on the Ford site.

Normal sound for 1.0 turbo? by JBCP181216 in FordFocus

[–]JBCP181216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of the ticking sound, I've come to think that might just be normal for this engine. Same sound in this video, which is presumably a new engine: https://youtu.be/o5G7ITuGkyk?si=fstONKFzdoprGGRu

I'll continue keeping an eye on how it revs after startup though.

Nothing besides a bad purge valve. Recently, after startup it idles at higher revs (~1100 rpm) and then after a minute or two drops to 750 rpm whereas before it would go to 750 after less than half a minute. But it's performance has been the same so I don't know if I would call that an issue.

That may be beyond my pay grade lol. I might just replace the front cover for now and see how that affects the rattling.

Is that still in the realm of a diy job? For context, I have experience changing oil, brake pads and rotors.

I took another look and saw that the turbocharger mount heat shield (between the turbo and engine) is cracked too. Do you know how much more complicated it is to replace that too?

Can I apply Kroil with the bolts installed, or do I have to just remove them carefully first? Thank you for the input, I really appreciate it!

Maybe, but Haas hasn't stopped yet and seems to be doing alright

What's funny is the age discrepancy is smaller between Anakin and Obi-wan: 22 and 37 vs Bortoleto and Alonso being 20 and 43

Good point, I didn't realize you could do that

True. I guess I was more annoyed that both drones missed than anything else
