MK2 16v Rattle
« on: 16 April 2009, 12:21 »
Just a quick question....I've got a ratlle coming from a heatshield on my centre box (i think its the centre box) at about 3000rpm, which is really getting on my tits now  :rolleyes:

Its one of those horrible little 'washers' with splits cut into it that grips a 'pin' that has come loose...is it ok to just take that heatshield off? If not anyone know where i can get a new washer or have any suggestions as to how i can secure it and stop the rattle?

any help appreciated  :smiley:

I used a nut and washer on one of the rear ones, did the trick

only problem being that the 'pin' the goes through the washer is more like a nail nad has no thread....so would be wuote tricky to secure with a nut?

iirc the one at the back was the same, i pushed hard on the nut and it cut its own thread :)

Those washers are available from VW, slightly different design but only cost a few pence.
