Asked by Murray George
My 2012 Ford Ranger turbo-diesel auto is very noisy. It's only done 11,990 km, but when the engine is cold, or on a hot day, it is excessively noisy. The noise sounds like the engine doesn't have oil in it. It is noisiest between 1500-2000 rpm. Have you heard of this problem from anybody else?
Answered by CarsGuide
17 Apr 2013We contacted Ford on your behalf and we understand that they inspected your vehicle and found a faulty injector was the cause of your problem. Why it took the intervention of headquarters to determine that is beyond our comprehension.
Worn injectors are a regular problem on common-rail diesels.
