Are Ford Flex engine noises bad?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Ford Flex engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Ford Flex engine?

Can I put water in my Ford Flex radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your Flex radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.
