Mbrimo Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Hello ford owners, I have this issue that started 2 weeks ago, when starting my car while cold and has been sitting for ~6 hours or more I get this loud screeching metal grinding kind of noise. the car is Ford edge 2013 with the Duratec 3.5L, it has 240k Km on the clock. these two videos can explain the noise heard. I don't think it's the starter because it only happens when the car is cold. it might be one of the pulleys, probably the alternator ? would appreciate any suggestions. thanks.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) could be belts and tensioner, very often hear them on cold starts. rarely pulleys but could be also. worst case scenario something in the timing system/water pump. that uneven start makes me worried about the timing chain/tensioners. there is a rattle upon startup.
