Racerx Member 111 Member For: 16y 7m 2d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 21/09/09 11:37 AM Share Posted 21/09/09 11:37 AM Hey people,I've got this bizarre noise when I drive the car first thing in the morning,or when stone cold. The car sounds completely normal when it starts, when you accelerate slowly to about 10kph, at 10 kph it makes a loud clak type noise followed by knocking for about 2 seconds. The noise only happens when you first drive it and wont do it again once warm.When it was under warranty, the tech said the clak noise it was normal and had something to do with the emission controls but now the knock noise has developed as well. Has anyone else experienced this noise or know what it may be. the cars a BF Auto.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61823-strange-noise/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always let her warm up for at the very leasta few minutes.Can you tell us where the noise is coming from? engine/gearbox/diff? Is it when the gearbox is changing into second?

I can only just hear mine. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61823-strange-noise/#findComment-935303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiresquire Member 266 Member For: 20y 5m 9d Posted 21/09/09 10:36 PM Share Posted 21/09/09 10:36 PM (edited) Well, it's probably not really the ABS charging up, that's just the way I think of it :DI've always noticed it on mine. I drive with the drivers window cracked, and there's a wall that reflects sound on the driveway where I first hit 10kph. The OPs description is good. I always thought of it as a clak and then a 'pulsing' sound. The pulse is what I imagine it sounds like when the ABS actually kicks in. Though I've never actually hit the anchors hard enough to do that...First time I heard it I thought WTF, some suspension bit has busted off and is knocking on each wheel revolution...ws Edited 21/09/09 10:38 PM by wiresquire Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61823-strange-noise/#findComment-935313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
