Focus 1.6 tdci rattle 2005 (54 plate)

Hi all,

We've got the above car but noticed a strange rattle from the engine from about 2800 rpm to 3500 rpm - sounds like pinking (i know its diesel lol)

I've given it a full service and repaired the intercooler pipe etc

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Bobby

they dont make all the same sound, had one start to break up on a peugeot, the only way i can describe the noise was like someone tapping a screwdriver lightly on something metal.

very difficult to diagnose over the internet without hearing it TBH
