This video link is my engine sounding during cold start. It sounds like this every time I cold start it. I took it to the dealer 2 weeks ago, left the car overnight so they can hear the engine at cold start and I’m sure you can guess what happened next. The advisor called me a few hours after the dealer opened and said they couldn’t duplicate the noise. I told him “What do you mean you couldn’t duplicate the noise. It does it every time I cold start the car. I showed you in the videos” I have 4 different videos I showed him of the engine tapping away. So upset I took the car home parked it in my driveway let it cool down waited about 8 hours, started the engine and voala,, it started tapping... Apparently the guy who checked my car had hearing problems or a case of the” I’m not chewing another engine bone” syndrome, hey, I get it,, I work at a Toyota dealership parts back counter myself and hear the techs talking about batting stuff away that they don’t want to do.. Well any how I was reading all over the web how other 2018-2019 owners are going thru similar situations with engine noises some having short blocks replaced and others having complete long blocks some have said they were on their 3rd engine and had engine noise after 3-400 miles. I didn’t want anyone touching my engine to have a bunch or parts thrown at it to still keep making noise so I started playing with the different grades of engine oils to see which one it sounded the least. Figuring that the performance pack ran a 5w50. That would be my last choice. I tried 5w20PUP full synthetic, motorcraft 5w20 semi synthetic, 10w30PUP full synthetic, motorcraft 5w30 semi synthetic and finally Mobil1 0w40.. So far with the Mobil1 0w40 it’s made the least noise. It had a very faint tick at start up so I added the miracle additive “Ceratec” to the 0w40 drove it for 10 miles or so it circulated well and so far it’s been 3 days and absolutely no noise what so ever. It sounds like a new engine. “In my case” 0w40 and Ceratec worked for me which leads me to believe “In my case” it’s not injector related, it’s something internal in the engine because why would it go away with thicker oil and an additive. Regardless, I’m happy as hell,, no noise. This time if it comes back I’ll put back 5w20, take it to the dealer, park it outside in the customer parking, take the keys home with me, come back the next day and have the service manager, advisor, tech and myself go the the parking lot and all have a group listen of my engine tapping away to see if no one hears it this time..

I ordered my 2019 mustang around april and picked it up mid july.. It currently has 1523 miles. It has developed what sounds like a ticking noise that has proggressively gotten louder and louder almost sounds as if a lifter is dry or something. I work at a Toyota dealership here down south and one of our techs is an ex ford tech so I called him over and started the car for him. After he heard the noise he recommended I take it to the dealer because he said it didnt sound normal.. I took like 3 videos during cold start with the loud tick and sent them to a Ford service advisor recommended by my salesman.. Im taking it on 11/30 to see what they tell me..

Good Morning everyone,, I ordered a 2019 Mustang GT Premium VIN# 1FA6P8CF5K5103611 and according to the Cotus website the car was delivered on 7/6/2018 so I called the dealer on 7/8/2018 to see if I could drive up there and start doing the paperwork but the salesman told me the car was not there yet. I called the dealer again on 7/10/2018 and they still told me the car was not there yet so I went on ford.com went to the build section and used the chat section and asked the person about my car with and they gave me a 1-800-392-3673 number to call. I called them yesterday 7/11/2018 and spoke to a rep. and they told me that their system shows the car as delivered on 7/6/2018 to get in contact with the dealer, but the dealer says its still not there yet you go on the dealers website and you look thru their inventory the car is on the website, its says in stock, it even has a stock number. The reason im getting a bit nervous is because I got the financing approved on 6/22/2018 the they told me it was onle valid for 30 days before I have to start the process all over... Thanks

Hello everyone, new to the forum, went to my local ford dealer on April 6 and placed an order for a 2019 Mustang GT Premium. This is my first new car order and was wondering if anyone would be able to help with any info? I emailed the salesman on May 16 to see if he had any updates info or even a VIN and he said there was no update available yet. What I don't understand is in another forum some guy said he ordered his Mustang the first week of May and he already has a VIN number. Is that possible?? 2019 Mustang GT Premium Kona Blue, 401A, Automatic, B&O Audio, Active Exhaust, 3.55 Diff., Midnight Blue Int. Order Number: T01A Dealer: F24002 Priority: 10
