Re: Noise / rattle when engine cold
Funny you should post this. My QQ is booked in for next Friday for the exact same noise. My rattle occurs between 1.4 - 2k revs. You can hear it best in second hear (road noise is less). When looking under the bonnet there were no obvious signs (apart from the air intake not held on to the slam pan...

Re: Noise / rattle when engine cold
Hello all. Nice to join the forum, looks like it will be a very useful resource. I have an n-connecta dig-t 1.2 petrol, registered early 2017, that I bought this summer. I've noticed that when I start the car from cold, for the first five or 10 mins until it warms up I hear a vibrating / rattling n...

Re: Can't fine LED 55W to replace current bulbs

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss
It's not I don't think. The Arnold Clark is a Ford dealer, hopefully it's OK to have someone check it out.

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss
What kind of warranty did you get? If it's making that rattle, it's the "lifetime" timing chain gone kaput. And the cause of this is the incorrect fittings in one of the pistons causing oil to seep out and get burned off, diverting it from getting into and lubricating the timing chain, so...

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss
Confirmed, I need a new timing chain after going in to investigate the rattle. Was told 1000s have had to have it done. Chrisw, did you notice any chain rattling noises when driving? It's quite a distinctive rattle, and when you release the accelerator and free wheel in gear, can you hear a noise s...

Re: Timing Chain Needs Replacing Twice!?
That doesn't sound right. I've also got the exact same noise coming from my QQ but no mechanic mentioned picked this up as serious.
Are they charging you for the work to be done?

Re: 1.2 dig-t grey smoke
As an update to close this thread. I've not seen anything recently and I suspect it was just condensation.
