My New EcoBoost Is Ticking! [VIDEO]

I just picked up my 2011 XLT CC EB last weekend, I've put a little over 100 miles on it since then, and I've noticed a loud ticking coming from the engine bay. Do you guys think I have a dealership worthy trip ahead of me? (The dealership I bought it from is 45 minutes away, and honestly do not trust my local dealership)

at 0:21, it almost sounds turbo/high pressure related?

I would drive the 45 minutes to have a dealership check it out.

Ive heard of a ticking sound coming from the engine that is normal due to the high pressure fuel injection, but this seems pretty loud/odd.

Definitely dealer worthy.

Please keep up updated with what it turns out to be.

Sorry about your luck, hopefully its a simply fix.

I'd get it checked. You can hear mine with the windows open but just barely, with the hood open it's louder more like what yours sounds like but for some reason I almost hear a slight metal "tinging" sound which (just checked) I don't hear on mine. It could be the microphone or something causing it but better safe than sorry.

I have never heard that either. I would have it towed to be safe. In know warrantee, but why risk trashing it.
