Wondering if anyone could help me point out what this engine noise is. Sounds like timing chains. It’s a 2016 F type with 69,000 miles with oil changes every 3k miles. Thanks.

Doesn't sound too concerning to me and it could be the high pressure fuel pump showing its age. How long have you had the car for? Was the sound not there before?

 

It has gotten louder. I’ve had the car for three years and an independent shop said that it sounds like timing. It’s not throwing any codes tho.

 

Also the indy I took it too wasn’t really sure either.

 

Have you done the Supercharger coupling replacement yet? If not, that is likely what you are hearing. Many mechanics misdiagnose this as a timing chain issue due to it's proximity to the front of the engine. It's about a 2hr job.

 

yes it has a solid eaton coupler and all aluminum pipes and new water pump

 

when you open the oil fill cap while it’s running, you can hear the noise where the timing is through the oil fill cap.

 

Trouble is cars and especially engines are notorious for transmitting knocking/rattling/clicking/ticking/buzzing noises from the source/cause to somewhere else, so just because you can hear the noise through the open oil fill cap does not mean it's caused by the timing chain, it could still very well be a worn SC coupler.

 

it does not really sound like timing chain. I was thinking maybe an exhaust leak, and my mass airflow sensor light is on so it could be that too. It could also be loose pulleys or really anything. I was just wondering if anyone heard a similar noise on their car.
