It was the 3.0 V6. Approx 6 weeks from new and 3,000km.

Absolutely. Well said.

Extended warranty? I’d buy a Toyota.

Sorry to hear. It’s quite amazing that Ford does not care enough about their customers to change this. Do they not sell enough units to justify a manufacture adjustment by now?

That sounds exactly like what mine had. The fix done on mine was to remove the engine. Take the front off the engine to access the cam phaser and replace the dodgy one. I opted for a refund. My car was only 6 weeks old.

Yeah mine was the same as that. The pressure was super low then raises when you put your foot on the gas.

I’m in Australia, it may be different for you? Assuming you’re in the US or UK if talking miles? I went through my dealer and said I wasn’t satisfied that such a high performance vehicle was having the engine removed and such an invasive repair happening at such an early stage. I also got in...

Thank you for the insight. Your comments certainly provide some reassurance. thanks mate.

Update: Ford said it is apparently a 'variable solenoid' fault. A computer reprogram did nothing so the car is in for a few weeks to get fix. That's disappointing on a brand-new car.

The noise only happens for less than 2 seconds. that's really interesting thank you. Same scenario, the noise does not occur after the engine is the slightest bit warm. only cold start up.

Has anyone come across their new gen Ranger Raptor making a terrible noise on first start up of the day? It almost sounds like my old diesel without enough oil in it. It is going into ford next week for a diagnosis, but it would be good to know if this has happened elsewhere and what the...
