Id say pull the top cover off the timing belt and see if it goes away. If it does your timing belt is prety streched out.




A common problem on some Zetecs is the timing belt hitting the top timing belt cover. Ford has a taller cover available for solving that problem, but many have been able to shim up the cover with washers. I don't know if this is your problem or not.
