Groundpounder Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I've had this rattle since almost new, finally got around to taking it to the dealer, they say they can't hear it, and what they can hear is normal. Only happens on cold starts. https://youtu.be/Aa0BpZD23Lc Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildisco Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) How much oil do you have? I've heard this happen before when the oil isn't to the top of the dipstick full or max level. Could also be the injectors, but usually on cold start ups, the oil accumulates at the bottom of the pan, which is when you should check it or wait at least 15 minutes after you turn off the engine. Once the engine is warmed up, the oil is circulated through the engine & the noise stops or is hardly noticeable.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Building up oil pressure takes a bit more time when cold. Running an OEM oil filter will also minimize rattle issues due to the placement of the ADB valve. From the video it sounds minor enough to be normal. That said, if the rattle becomes more extended, everything else being the same, i would look to the timing chain as the culprit. Yes, this happens in not only the F150 but other EB model lines as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundpounder Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 They brought out another Edge with a 2.0 and it made the same noise. Its the injectors. You'd think a $40k vehicle wouldn't sound like there are a bunch of loose bolts rattling around in the engine compartment.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildisco Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Fairly certain mine doesn't do this, but we usually use the remote start function. I'm going to throw the summer wheels on this weekend so we'll see if it makes that noise when i move it around in the garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
