Hey everyone!
So I bought a new 2018 Mustang GT last month. Everything has been great, but I just recently hit 1,500 miles and now I believe I'm starting to hear some mild form of engine knocking. Granted, this is my first time with a Mustang or V8 engine for that matter, so I'm sure they make some forms of noises I'm not used to. BUT this noise tends to happen at around 1500 RPM's. It doesn't happen all the time. I used to have a 2012 Hyundai Accent that made similar noises (they were a bit louder though) and they had eventually triggered the knock sensor on that vehicle. I'm not getting any knock sensors tripping on the GT. Please note, this is NOT the infamous ticking noise people post on here. This only happens when I'm accelerating. Sounds like a mild rattle or ticking/clicking when accelerating, typically at those RPM's.
The reason I'm confused is because the manual states occasional knock is normal? How should I go about this? I was planning maybe trying Premium fuel and seeing if that helps? Maybe notifying the dealership in a few weeks when I do an oil change? I'm kind of discouraged about this, but then again it could be normal. I'll try and record something later today. Thank you!
