I have been the proud owner of a brand new Fiesta for 10 days now. Woopee!
Only problem is when I start it cold (i.e. it hasnt been started since the day before) I can hear a weird rattle from the motor. It goes away after 15 or 20 seconds, then it's fine all day. Car drives fine with no rough idle , etc. Any ideas what it is? |

Lol.... I can't spell either.
Mines a stock standard WQ LX , moondust silver. The only extra it has is window tint. Alloy wheels are next on my list. I will take some pics after I get the wheels. It's booked in tomorrow to get the noise checked. But scooby's law #58 says " all weird engine noises dissapear if a mechanic gets within 50 metres of your car" , so we'll see what happens. |

Yeh I hope it's not that serious and I hope they fix it.
Hey, where abouts are you in Sydney? Us NSW people occassionally have cruises where we just drive to a location and hang out. You should come along to our cruises! You can see some pics here www.eurofordclub.com/gallery Eurofordclub was invited to a joint cruise to Bathurst last weekend. It was WICKED!

Congratulations on purchasing a new fiesta.
I was the proud owner of a new fiesta for two years. I noticed the rattle from day one. The rattle is totally normal, even after i put fresh oil in it every 3thousand kms it still did it. Dont worry, just enjoy the car.

Well, I paid attention this morning. I started the car... goes as usuall... but after 10 seconds or so there's that "rattle" that last for about 5 seconds and then it's gone.
I believe it's always been like that. Shouldnt be a problem at all. |
