16v rattle
« on: 24 June 2007, 22:11 »
What you guys think? Recently my 16v has a started making a rattling sound.
First its there when you start up for second... And it does it under load about 3K rpm but then dissapears. It doesnt sound like exhaust or heat shield though.... I know its hard to know what it is without hearing for yourselfs but wandered if anyone else has experianced anything similar.

Cheers
