Hello guys purchased a Ford galaxy 2019 plate in September last year from a dealer, lovely car but sometimes it knocks on start up for a few seconds (but not every time) it sounds like valves or something although once hot it’s alright, since I am within the 6 month period of customer rights I’m tempted to call them about it, or Is it a waste of time? We haven’t thrashed the car at all only given it love really and apart from that it’s in good nick with only 55k on the clock anyways what do you guys think I should do?

I would go back to them now so it’s on record that you have raised the issue within the warranty period !! Good luck it though even if you do this, as most 2nd hand dealers, and main dealers for that matter will do their utmost to wriggle out of a claim.

Could be. I’ve had injector faults being cleared up by running some injector cleaner in the fuel before. Worth a try

If it was mechanical I reckon the noise would be there sll the time.

Just had a truck engine in bits for a few days, and the moisture in the air done two of the injectors in, £830 each!
Had terrible knock when rebuilt, immediately thought uhoh what have I done wrong.

Spoke to one of the truck makers techs, he said quite common and what he does during engine work is remove all the injectors and leave them in a bucket of clean fuel to keep the air away from them, new one on me.

Thanks mate sounds like a bit of a dilemma, you must of had a right head ache after that you think I should call the garage I got the car from though? Did the new injector solve it for you?
