Focus 2008 1.8 Petrol

Started my car up the other morning and it sounded like the exhaust was blowing. Left it running till warm and noise seemed to disappear – Tried the same thing the next day and the same happened. Could this be a loose Exhaust manifold as the noise seemed to be coming from the front of the car and disappears once warm (exhaust expands when warm so maybe leak is sealed?). The reason I think it’s this is because engine in this car was recently replaced so the connection of new engine to the exhaust system would need to have been made. There also seemed to be another noise from the engine whilst it was running but have put this down to the possibility of the manifold being loose.
I am taking this into the garage tomorrow for them to look at.
any thoughts or advice appreciated.
thanks

Just as you suggested, Take it to the garage, Its under warranty?

If not, Unless you have the tools and know how that will be your best option. Its easy to make 1001
assumptions but the garage will tell you very quickly.

all done fixed. It was exhaust manifold blowing as I suspected. Maybe go and a get a job at ford.
