Animal Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Every time I pull away (unless I use a bootful of revs and ride the clutch) I'm getting a rattle from somewhere in the oily bits (I can't hear quite where). This only lasts for a second or two until the car is moving. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harman350z Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Is it an actual rattle or does it sound like a metal clicking sound? I get it when going from revearse to forward, the rear left joint moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Sounds like a thin/hollow piece of metal rattling - I was thinking maybe a loose heatshield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The sound (hollow) woudl go with your heat shield theory or a bit of trim... Jack it up and have a good look under to see if there is anything loose or exhaust hanger has gone and the exhaust is knocking. Other thing is to get a mate in a quite area to listen to it carefully from outside to try and pinpoint where it is coming from. (front/rear left/right). Helped me find that the rattle on my last car was poorly fitting brake pad. My missus had a god awful rattle once only happened on over-run when depressing the clutch - turned out to be a bit of loose metal in the exhaust.

Walbertonio Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Now that sounds identical to a noise I've noticed. You don't by any chance have a K2? I've just done some testing and found this noise is coming from the left exhaust tailpipe - as near as I can describe it, the sheet of metal just inside the tailpipe seems to be a little loose. I reckon a small weld to join it to the lip of the tailpipe exit should sort it out - another one for the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I seem to get flywheel chatter as I pull off in first. Would that get more noticeable with a old worn clutch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
