Why is my Ford Mondeo making strange grinding noises during acceleration?

I recently purchased a used Ford Mondeo and I've noticed that whenever I accelerate, there's a strange grinding noise coming from the engine. I've checked the belts and they seem to be fine, so I'm not sure what the issue might be. Any ideas?

It's possible that the issue could be with your transmission. Have you noticed any other symptoms, such as difficulty shifting gears or a burning smell? It's best to take it to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

I had a similar issue with my Ford Mondeo and it turned out to be a problem with the exhaust system. The best thing to do is to have a professional inspect it for any cracks or leaks.

I've heard of other Ford Mondeo owners experiencing this issue and it was due to a worn out CV joint. It's important to get this fixed as soon as possible to avoid any further damage to your car.
