Ford Mondeo 2012: Transmission troubles

I bought a 2012 Ford Mondeo TDCI just last month. It had travelled 104,000 km and came with a three-year warranty. Two times since then I’ve heard it make some sounds in the engine, but I couldn’t figure it out, as it’s a very low noise. The frequency depends on my accelerator, and when I stop and start again after few min it’s gone. Is the Mondeo a good long-term choice?

The Mondeo is generally reliable, but the dual-clutch automatic transmission has been troublesome and I wouldn’t buy one myself. Manual no problem, but not the auto. If, as you say, it is under warranty take it back to where you bought it and have them investigate the noise you hear.
