Hi
I recently purchased a W reg,pre-facelift Mondeo 1.8LX with 37K on the clock from the local, main Ford dealer. I was told it had come in as a P/X and was in excellent condition. Test drove it and all seemed fine and both the interior, exterior and service logbook bore out the claimed mileage.
After I'd had it 10 days I noticed a slight rattle, appearing to come from the right hand side. It only occurs between 1500 and 2750 RPM and only when moving. I took it back to the dealer whereupon myself and a mechanic went for a drive so I could demonstrate the noise. He tells me that it is an "Injector Rattle" and is a common thing to happen with these engines.
Does this sound feasible (as I wouldn't expect anyone to diagnose without hearing the sound !) and if so am I correct in not worrying about it ?
Grateful for any input
Dave
