timing tensioner?

I believe he was referring to the serpentine belt tensioner. Will confirm shortly when I pick up.

I'm a bit skeptical, but trying hard to give them the benefit of the doubt. Worst case, I bring it back tomorrow...

So when did you get the ESP ? I was thinking about getting one soonish.

Just a couple months ago right after the timing chain failure before I rolled 75k miles.

I got mine through Ziegler Ford for over $1000 less than I was quoted by Ford ESP direct.

I opted for the 60k/48 mo plan, which was the most I could add with my current mileage. There's an inspection form that the dealer needs to complete, which ran me $125.

Confirmed - they replaced the serpentine belt and tensioner.

My skepticism is waning. After several days of this rattle (consistently appearing 45-60 sec after a cold start), there was no noise this morning...

Repair order attached for posterity.

Would be great if this is true, fingers crossed   First instance of rattling caused by belt tensioner.  Usually it's like cards in bicycle spokes kind of "flitting" sound, mostly on colder days/near freezing & below.

Yeah, I definitely would have guessed chain slap. Didn't sound like any tensioner/belt issue I've heard.

The little nugget in the repair order is to remove the accessory belt and see if the noise goes away. I could have done that, but I was convinced it was timing chain related.

I'll check back if the noise returns.

FYI, my coworker told me this morning that he got a P0016 code on his 2014 XSport with 73k miles. He bought it new and it's all stock.

Sorry to hear   Best I can say is coolant needed to be changed or maybe shoulda been running full synth all along.  Doesn't seem to be a place to point the finger tho.

Yeah, I don't have any details on his service history, but I found it curious that he's experiencing similar symptoms at nearly the same mileage that I had.

If he has it diagnosed/repaired, I'll update with any new info.
