whet


just need new big end bearings no doubt and a crank re-grind/polish

yeah, i want to cry

:(:(:( Same as my girlfriends.

Took it spoox, worse expected. Just early stage knocking, conrods or something. I dunno, new engine job anyway

I hope so I'm bricking it

oh dear mate....well good luck and fingers crossed that its a small problem. :thumbs:

Well, rang spoox and taking it down tomorrow. I said could you tell me what it was from describing on the phone, and he said he don't want to scare the shit out of me without looking at it.. :(:(:(:(:( just paid £600 to get gearbox and clutch fitted on Friday too :(:(:(

it's not the bottom end im pretty sure.. well I hope not.. Either way knocking isn't good, right? :(

its very rare for an engine "knock" from the head. r u sure its not coming from the bottom end?

it sounds like a conrod problem to me mate :(

It's knocking mate, can only hear it when bonnet is up though.. It's not low on oil?!

my sisters zetec s bottom end totaly fooked becuase of low oil......the oil light doesnt come on untill its in the garage by the way!

is it a knocking or a tapping (k2 gti)

Nope... But it has been cutting out at low revs.. Only done it a couple of times though after It's been pushed in first gear mate.... :(:(:(:(:( onyl dnoe it a few times though?

is your eml on?

*shrugs* No idea - I'm no mechanic. Someone should have the answer though :thumbs:

Nah I understand. I've been told it could be something to due with the spark plugs? Or something around that area. As for all, dodgy spark plugs would cause it to miss fire on start up?

Yeah, but I don't fully understand engines. The Zetec engines are prone to burning oil, which it did by the previous owner as I always checked the oil in hers. From what I gathered, one of the pistons is basically wobbling in the engine, as the piston ring has gone.

Something like that. Might not be exactly the same problem as yours. After all, they are different engines BUT what you described sounds similar.

Sorry for being so vague.

Oh, so if it's fucked, then why is it fucked? Surely they didn't just say it's fucked? They must of said something was wrong?

How do you mean? Her knocking gets faster when you put the throttle down, it has been checked by various garages and is basically knackered. She doesn't drive it. It's sitting on her drive till she can afford to get it fixed.

Don't know how you can say that when you don't know?

Sounds like what is wrong with my girlfriends Zetec engine in her Fiesta. Fooked basically.

Ok I know this isn't a Pug forum but they take forever to reply when someone on here will know.

Bascically, heard a knocking noise coming from the top of the engine? Engine runs fine etc, poss needs a service, but I heard a knocking noise isn't good?

Also, is their anything it could be? cheers
