Wastegate cap rattle
Sponsored
Per the other replies seems normal. But next time starting my Bronco, I'll sit for a few minutes, and check if the sound occurs more than a few times.Yes its happen many time until i drive it its gone but the question is it normal??
I hear that . The 2.3 in my 2020 Ranger sounded like an old diesel. It was certainly a noisy engine.fyi, my 2.3L is noisy in general, perhaps the noisiest engine I've ever owned. Makes a lot of ticking/clatter, especially before warming up. My other engines are significantly quieter.
37k on our 2.3Its keep going after 5 sec many times untill i drive my car
ThisThe noise at 3 seconds just sounds like some type of actuator cycling, which at cold start is probably completely normal. Unless it does it constantly or all the time, I wouldn't worry about it.
Nothing wrong with the 2.3 engine being loud. It's just because its a small GDIT engine with a timing chain. I'm not sure about the wastegate actuator noise since I haven't noticed it myself, but the rest is normal happy noises for an engine like that. Now if you hear knocking, surging, or any stumbling then you know something is definitely wrong.Per the other replies seems normal.

I hope to find some other local Broncos to compare the engine sound, so I have an audio baseline in my head what to expect.
The same as sec 3 ??37k on our 2.3
Same sounds
Relax, it's fine. Really.
Yes exactly when the window is down you can hear it clearly i dont know what is the best description about the sound but it’s obvious on 3 sec if u noticeI have the same noise on my 2.3L. I describe it as a screen door squeak. Another forum thread I found believes its the Turbo Waste Gate Actuator. I haven't confirmed that, nor was a fix proposed other than possibly greasing the fitting. Doesn't appear to affect operation, just annoying when you start the car with the windows down.
Next time i will use the timer to check how many sec it will remainThe sound of these engines running cold for the first couple minutes it’s unsettling. For sure.
Yes, the sameThe same as sec 3 ??
