Ford S-MAX - 2.0 TDCi noisy engine - Cokey

I have a 2009 S-Max 2.0 TDCi that I purchased 3 weeks ago through Ford Direct. After a week of ownership, the noisy became much noiser sounding like something was blowing in the engine.

The car went into my local Ford dealer this week where they found that an intercooler pipe had become disconnected.

The engine noise still persists and is particularly noticeable on high revs.

Has anybody else experience this problem?

It's still under warranty so keep taking it back to the dealer until you are satisfied. If they say 'they all do that sir' demand a test drive in another car with the same engine. I don't think the Ford 2.0 TDCi is a particularly noisy engine - and in any case you seem to have been happy for the first few days.

Yes, I'm calling the garage back first thing in the morning. Hopefully they'll sort it this time.
