Hi all bit of a B-Max newbis as only got it 2 weeks ago and its been back to ford for 6 days as back and front heated screens wasn`t working.Picked it up today and noticed it sounds more noisier than when I first got it and when you first rev it it sounds like it maybe blowing.Can also hear it more noisy when I`m driving the car..Is this the normal engine sound.I have the ecoboost titanium model.Cheers Mark

Welcome to the forum Mark.

Before you start to think your ecoboost engine doesn't sound quite right, be aware this engine does sound a bit different, mainly due to its 3 cylinder configuration. (actually I like it, particularly when accelerating - sounds almost sporty !)

See this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sroDxB7MLEo. Also lots more info on this engine on the web.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.Glad that it could actually be normal then and nothing wrong.

How old is the car & mileage ?

Could be a small exhaust or manifoldleak after 45k

Exhaust place has shown me that there is a bolt attached to the intake pipe that has come lose from the engine. Not sure if this is the problem but its going back to ford tomorrow
