Hi

I have previously posted videos of a ticking/slapping noise which I have had from more or less day 1.
The car has been in and out multple times at different dealers.

Yesterday my tech opened up the engine and was in contact with Fords european technicians.
They found out that the was scratches/scoring on cylinder 3 (I hope I will get the pics).

The conclusion is that I will get a new motor :(.

Here in Sweden we don't have as you have in the states with buy backs etc. I have multiple issues with the car. I have already had the front door and front fender painted as the there had had been nudging prior to delivery. A couple months ago I did realize that the trunk and rear fender had nudged so both will need re-painting. I have multiple imperfections under paint, I have rather sever rattle from below the rear windows, also starting to get a rattle from the area on ceiling where the lamp switches are situated.The belt lock is making grinding noises on the driver side, the arm rest on the driver side is making some sort of wedging/griding noise.

Also I have now disovered there is a weird noise when pressing/release the gas not sure where that is coming from....

Plus there are other issue such as the brake pad does not seem to apply on the whole rotor'

I am rather invested in the car with Xpel, wheels and other stuff...


All in all the fun with the car lasted like the first day....

Sorry to hear that. My Mustang 2018 got a new engine, because of rattling 1500rpm and scratches on the cylinder wall.
No i have only a rattle after cold start when i push the gas pedal for a short time.

So you still have the same rattle but when cold?
Did they swap the whole engine or the block?

When is the new engine built if you did get a new one

I dont know if its the hole engine, because the bulding date is still April 18. So probably a short block.
