This only happens when the car is cold, and doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes I think I can hear it when I am accelerating between the 1800 and 2200 rpm range (Going forward of course :lol: ) but I may just be paranoid.Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4278-weird-noise/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoo2 Member 58 Member For: 21y 11m 2d Location: Melbourne Posted 10/07/03 03:14 AM Share Posted 10/07/03 03:14 AM Seems to be a common problem, even when the car isn't cold. Can be fixed though. Here's a response I found here (don't remember where though; try searching):“...the techy said I know what that is, jumped under the car with a ring spanner and a can of CRC. Apparently on the rack mount (somewhere) there are two aluminium faces that work together and the bolt through them works loose.” Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4278-weird-noise/#findComment-34905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Isher Guests Posted 10/07/03 03:21 AM Share Posted 10/07/03 03:21 AM I noticed the exact same noise today. As you said, it only seams to occour when the engine is cold and the car is in reverse. I'didn't let it bother me as it go's away very quickly.jmoo2: Are you refering to the steering rack in your post? I can't see how that would be the cause as the sound is there even if you don't turn the wheel.Isher Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4278-weird-noise/#findComment-34906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
