Hi everyone,

I have a metallic rattle on start up, goes after 30 seconds or so or if I depress the clutch.

It has only started in this recent cold spell first thing in the morning. When I leave work in the evening it doesn't make the noise.

I've seen that others have had a similar issue, how was it resolved?

Thanks!

Ed

I had a noise on mine from new for approx 30 secs if i remember correctly and only ever really on first start up. It sounded like either the clutch or gearbox.
Took it back to the dealer and they had it for a few days and had ford technical assist them and because the noise would disappear never to be heard again until the next day it took them a little longer.
They came back and said it was normal ?
Spoke to another dealer when it was in for a service and the technician said it was a valve in the box and no other info.????
I didn't have any issues and it never got worse so just ignored it and took what they were saying as correct
I had a fiesta hybrid on loan and that was the same
