SOURCE: ford focus turbo diesel low oil pressure with no knocks from engine
Possible oil sending unit problem.
SOURCE: knocking noise on the front end
THIS COULD BE SEVERAL ITEMS. FIRST LOOK AT THE SHOCK ABSORBER. LOOK AT THE ENDS WHERE THEY ATTACH. SOMETIMES THE RUBBER BUSHINGS GET BEAT OUT AND THEN THERE IS ONLY THE MOUNTING BOLT THAT BANGS AROUND IN THE HOLE. ALSO CHECK SUSPENSION BUSHINGS FOR EXCESSIVE WEAR AT PIVOT POINTS. DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL HELP BECAUSE OF LACK OF INFORMATION, BUT THIS IS A STARTING POINT FOR YOU. GOOD LUCK.
SOURCE: knocking noise from rear of car
There are two common
known problems with the rear suspension. One problem is the rear spring
colliding with the rear lower arm during rebound. This is caused by a
lack of support in the rear lower arm and the upper spring seat. The
solution is to fit a spring isolator sleeve to prevent the metal to
metal knocking. Another common problem is knocking of the top coils of
the springs. A revised rear lower arm spring seat has been fitted since
02/2002.

SOURCE: APC Solenoid Valve Knocking
The APC valve regulates boost pressure (via the wastegate) to avoid over-pressurising the engine. It ensures that a safe boost pressure isn't exceeded. Don't run with it disconnected or you risk blowing the engine!
Problem areas can include: knock sensor on the engine block (also poor quality fuel, dirty engine causing knock); engine ECU.
You need to provide more information about when this happens:
hard accelerating? (likely poor quality fuel, dirty plugs/engine causing knock) and general driving similar.
idling? possibly a knock sensor or ECU related problem
What rpm? what boost gauge pressure?
as an outside chance, maybe a sticky wastegate

ur oil pump may be failin-there r sensors everywhere on new cars-keepin u from starting as safety measure-computer systems r complex n things dont always show on 1 scan-they kinda hav the mindset of a pc
Testimonial: "Thank you. I have spoken with 2 other mechanics who said the same thing regarding the oil pump. It's being looked at. So I'll post more once I know"
