corbsy Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi guys, I've noticed recently that my Zed has a noticeable vibration/rattling noise after 4000rpm whilst accelerating in all gears - it doesn't seem to do it at a standstill. Anyone experienced a similar issue? It's a bit hard to get a sound recording of the sound but the noise is coming from the front of the car and the sound has seemed to move from the middle of the car to more to the right although still pretty central. I'm worried that something could be potentially be wrong with the engine so I'm driving very cautiously. Although my wallet is grateful, I'm not! Obviously to hear the sound is normally a necessity in these cases so does anyone know a reputable garage in the South East - preferably near the Blackwater/Camberley area? Cheers, Corbsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamdc2 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Perhaps a loose heat shield or undertray/ section of exhaust? Oil levels ok? any performance issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I was thinking heat sheilds on the cats. They're a bit flimsy at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteman35 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Most likely heat shields on cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbsy Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Oh thank god No performance issues, still running like a beast! I'll take a look at the heat shields, and if I fail to do so, I'll take it to a garage and report back here. It's just the sound that it makes just gets me nervous that I'll blow my big end or something just as bad/expensive!
