leebottrill Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Hey guys, I have posted before about a rattle from the engine, and discovered its the the clutch. This is a fairly normal so no worries there. Now when is car is warmed up and parked i can hear another rattle. This is with the clutch disengaged. It increases with the revs, and only makes a noise at a certain RPM (lower down). Its coming from the engine area. I asked my mechanic about it and he didn't seem to worried. Could this be a thrust bearing? Also my car is 57plate HR. and does't appear to have had the spark plugs changed. its currently on 34k. Should this be done asap? or at 50K? Quote
RobPhoboS Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Try and record a sound, it'll help out far more I think. Quote
Mikev350z Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Might be the fuel damper. I had this with mine. Just trying to locate one and get it fitted. Quote
leebottrill Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Its not a knocking, more of a rattle. not noticeable unless you really listen. Quote

leebottrill Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 Its the tinny rattle you can hear over the exhaust. This is with the clutch disengaged. so its not the usual clutch rattle! Quote
RobPhoboS Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I couldn't really hear it I'm afraid but I'm not great at diagnosing these noises, hopefully someone will. You could get it booked in with one of the recommended places on here to help you. Quote
marzman Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 The audio file wouldnt play for me. Does it have a lightweight fly wheel? They're notoriously loud/grumbly when your foot is off the clutch or driving at low revs. Quote
Toon Chris Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 My bet is on a heat shield, like Will Quote

The end bit is me letting the clutch out to show you the difference in noises! What do you think? Edited February 19, 2015 by leebottrill Quote
leebottrill Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Oh and the noise is coming from the front of the car, not the back! Quote
leebottrill Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Update, took it in today. Its actually the left cat rattling. I got underneath and could clearly hear the noise. The chap said its nothing to worry about, but it might be worth looking at replacing some time in the future! 1 Quote
