Rear of engine noise

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A common source of noise from the rear of the engine (knocking) is the flywheel/flexplate. Inspection of the flywheel/flexplate will be necessary.

Some engines have timing drive components at the rear of the engine and may be the source of noise (ticking, knocking or rattle). Use the Engine EAR/Chassis EAR or stethoscope on the rear of the engine if it is suspected that the noise is internal to the engine. Some disassembly of the engine may be required to inspect for damage or wear.

If equipped, the Rear End Accessory Drive (READ) can also be a source of noise from the rear of the engine (squeal or chirp). The READ  consists of the coolant pump and belt.

  1. 13. After localizing the noise, note the characteristics of the noise, including type of noise, frequency and conditions when the noise occurs and go to SYMPTOM TABLE - NVH .
