Default Focus TDCi Pinking Problem...

Hi all,

Hoping someone might be able to help or advise.

My cousin sister has a one year old Focus TDCi Sport (115)

It has an intermittent issue - Where the engine sounds like it's pinking....

It's been to Ford's twice - But everytime, they can't find nothing wrong.

Has anybody here experienced something like this?

Thanks

what gear is she driving in and at what speed/revs when it happens?

most likely cause is people driving at very low revs and hearing the duel-mass flywheel rattling around. but that doesn't necesserarily mean it requires replacement.
