AlpineRider Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hello all. I was hoping to get some ideas about engine noise in my 2011 Transit Connect. It's a US model XLT with 122,000 miles (gas engine). I have replaced the muffler and silencer but not the catalytic converter. The noise sounds like a loud exhaust but is coming from the engine compartment as best I can tell. I can see no signs of exhaust leaks from anywhere on the system. The engine is loud under acceleration but quieter when you back off the throttle. It doesn't sound mechanical such as valve train noise or injectors. The CV joints appear to be OK as well. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Is there a Flex near the Catalytic Converter? They have a habit of cracking in such away that it is hard to see the break under the weave. Edited September 24, 2018 by G B L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineRider Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Thanks G B L. i do have the flex and I'll check that out. I have noticed that the flex is very easy to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
