Hi all
New here!
Ok so I need some help..
I brought a Focus ST2 2015 with 26k miles!
Since the day I’ve had it there is a knocking coming from somewhere under the bonnet on a cold start, it gets louder when clutch is pressed!! It lasts until the engine is warm then goes!
Garage have had it back, they originally thought the clutch and flywheel needed changing but no other symptoms, they cannot find what it is...
It’s bothering me, they said the car is fine and have put that in writing, I have 3 months warranty too but I need an answer to what it is!
Maybe it’s just a Ford Focus st characteristic but in my mind that noise shouldn’t be there!!
I’m a paranoid mum of 3 and scared to put kids in car!!!
Please if anybody has ideas
Regards
Vicki
