as most of you read already i am one of the many people here who have the imagination of "the ticking head"
so today i went to a SVT dealer and asked to speak to someone about the situation of the chirping and the ticking in the motor. so this guy comes out sees me standing there and strike up a 10 minute conversation with some other guy who was a customer from a time before.
anyway after about 10 mins the guy comes over and i explain the noises and things and he says i know nothing about it there is no such thing. after telling him that i spoke to SVT personally and reading up on it (in these forums) and that im not the only one having the problem, he decided to have a listen (keep in mind this guy is like 65 yrs old). i pop the hood fire the car up and he listens for 5 seconds and says i dont hear anything. i laugh and say i can hear it from here. he says "no you dont cause there is nothing to hear and if you dont beleive me then take it somewhere else" im like this isnt happening. so i start arguing withthe guy and ask him if there wassomeone else who wasnt as old and deaf as he was to have a listen. he just walked away and told me to go somewhere else.
SO I DID.........
went to another ford dealership, asked to speak to the manager of service. he comes out has a listen, hears it both chriping and ticking tells me it is normal and that the motor sounds great. my reply yeah if your a chipmunk. anyway then another machinic comes over telling me it is the solinoids in the injectors......is that anywhere near the fender bearings???? at least they acknowledged there was a noise.....maybe the old grup should turn up his hearing aid.....ANYWAY, i told him i wanted it fixed and he says well there is nothing wrong with it and that it sounded good and the motor ran fine. then started telling me about his cougar....i dont care, just fix my friggin car.
It is pretty embaressing when people are checking the car out at a red light and it is going chirp chirp tick tick chrip chrip.......is this the service i can expect from ford???? any sugestions????
peace
