the problem is in the fuel pump... timing solanoid is broken, or the transistor that is stearing the solanoid. cut the cables from the timing soląnoid and check how many OHM's u have there. about 10 OHMS is ok. less like 1-3 means that soląnoid is broken
I know this is a very old post, but that is identical to my 2018 transit connect, 1.5 tdci ecoblue same metallic rattle, it was driving me insane, initially would rattle under load, between 1800-2000 rpm, I had 3 injectors replaced, but the rattle returned after approximately 70 miles of driving, I used to also experience stuttering while cruising at 70mph. Local garage investigated using the FORD FDRS tool, and found the injectors were not balanced efficiently, and engine was spraying too much diesel into injector. I noticed my MPG reduced greatly, and was mis diagnosed at 3 other garages, with over £2k spent on parts that wasn’t required. I replaced 3 brand new Bosch Injectors, probably not required, Cambelt and water pump, last replaced 15,000 miles ago. Fuel Filter, MAF air flow sensor. PCM was reset, EGR reset, High pressure fuel pump reset, Injectors reset and recoded. Rattle has gone, I want to post my own video about this one day, as it’s a huge problem, us having our vans mis diagnosed, it’s expensive and takes up a lot of time, I had no codes or errors, take it to a garage that has the Ford dealership software, they can see how each injector is performing, and reset to the correct manufacturer tolerance. Hope this helps, someone.
In my case resetting the fuel pressure pump would stop the injector knocking for 100 miles, but knocking then returns, going into Fords for new PCM on Wednesday, £1300 🙏 lets hope this finally fixes it.
Sounds like a misfire from a faulty injector, put a screwdriver tip on the metal part of each injector and your ear on the end of the handle, if one of them is not ticking, the solenoid has blown, also check videos on how to do a leak off test.
Getting the same issue on mine with injector one and two, did you find the issue on yours? Also did your engine rock quite badly when this was happening?
Thanks for the reply bud did some reading and have literally just finished retightening mine got some new bolts on order now I did all my seals a few weeks back when changing rocker gasket and didn't want to overtighten and snap them haha. Appreciate your reply 👍
Yeah was the same that happened to me today driving back home at first I thought of the engine mounts had gone the way the engine was rocking back and forth glad it was something simple and not like a cracked piston or cam carrier thank god
That's not tappets, it's not going with the revs. That's diesel knock, either suction control valve or injectors When you said you work for a mechanic company, it's no good if you're in the office, is it.
Heaving same problem with mine, mk7 2.2tdi, mine sounds same the whole engine shakes and white smoke comes from engine/injectors and exhaust... anyone has any idea what cld it be??
@@lascellesmith434 i did,, 2 injectors were knackered and head gasket got damaged too.. i ended up replacing the whole engine, used the van for another 6 months and then sold it.. fixing the existing problem i had from start wld have cost me £900 incl labour, found second hand engine with 70k miles for £350 plus £200 lab, worked out cheaper for me..
@@jaylo912 yeah £550 all in,, but he took the old engine on my transit too at that time, probably he fixes them and then sells them again, but yeah removed my old engine, put his on, and paid £550, had oil and filters already handed over to him, that was that..
@@adrianuk8102 I'm looking at crank bearings and big end shells replacing.. going to reseal the injectors myself. Not sure if I should go down the swap engine path atm.

it's the timing solenoid on diesel pump search that on youtube

my transit rockers snap that's what the knock nosie is
De que marca son esos inyectores.
Un saludo
cup tappet or sticking pistons
Did you find the fault?
Sounds like a failed injector or seals to me
horse shoe.that holds injector in place or faulty injector
Any update mate I have same noise.. when i touch the last two injectors can feel them almost like being hit. Not sounding good any ideas welcome
Getting the same issue on mine with injector one and two, did you find the issue on yours? Also did your engine rock quite badly when this was happening?
@@SuperMatty2k101 hi bud it turned out to be incorrect tightness of the stretch bolts after the injector copper washers being replaced.
Thanks for the reply bud did some reading and have literally just finished retightening mine got some new bolts on order now I did all my seals a few weeks back when changing rocker gasket and didn't want to overtighten and snap them haha. Appreciate your reply 👍
No worries mate mine came loose when driving they were rattling so bad! All sorted out when I got a new set tightened up properly though
Yeah was the same that happened to me today driving back home at first I thought of the engine mounts had gone the way the engine was rocking back and forth glad it was something simple and not like a cracked piston or cam carrier thank god
Hey. My Transit makes the same sound. Any idea what it was?
No sorry.
I work for a company who fixes all of them sounds and it seems to be your hydrolic tappets need replacing
How much would.that cost
Mark 7 2400 tdci ?
