06 Transit Connect - cold noisy injectors ?? - Ramone
I have a Transit Connect less than one year old.. when starting in the morning the diesel engine is very noisy ..after 4 or 5 mins everything goe nice and quite and smooth.sometimes it starts quite and smooth but drive it a mile down the road and re start it and it becomes noisy for a short while. Ford have told me this is due to noisy injectors when cold ... are they telling the truth ?????

It's difficult to be exact about noises - particularly without even knowing the engine type; but none of them should do that.

It might be injector coding, or an injector fault, or..... depending on type. Either way; it needs plugging in at a dealer that understands what they're doing - many don't have a diag tech anymore and will try to avoid these at all costs.
