2014 Fiesta ST ticking noise

[willmagrath]

Hi everyone, my st is running fine but there's a ticking noise coming from the top right of the engine. Only happens on idle.

I know the engine sounds ticky anyway but this is a bit more noticeable.

Should I be worried?? Thanks

My son's 2015 ST does this and he's just had it serviced and he mentioned this to them but Ford said there's nothing to worry about and it's normal. Thankfully his car is still in warranty so if anything does happen it will go straight back to Ford.

It is indeed perfectly fine, I'm a Ford tech and they issued a technical service bulletin to dealers explaining that it's just a "characteristic". They do all do it so I wouldn't worry.
