Odd vibration/noise in 4th

[jord0301]

Iv only had my car a week now but there's something that's caught my eye, or ears!!

In 4th gear only it seems, at around 2000 rpm as your slowly building revs, there's a vibration/noise that kicks in from the back, exhaust I think. It doesn't sound right really.

I don't know if this is normal or something that needs looking at. It's odd how it only seems t happen in 4th.

 

Your feedback would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Could be an exhaust heat sheild? The only way to check is get the car up on some ramps and poke about underneath. Not sure why it would only be in 4th though. Take it to a dealer and get them to some out with you on a test drive to see if they can pin point it.

def sounds like a heat shield noise , funny thing harmonics. Best to get the ca rup on a ramp a best to remove the heat shields and try the car.
