leebottrill Posted January 28, 2015 Share 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?

RobPhoboS Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Try and record a sound, it'll help out far more I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikev350z Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Might be the fuel damper. I had this with mine. Just trying to locate one and get it fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leebottrill Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPhoboS Posted February 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted February 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end bit is me letting the clutch out to show you the difference in noises! What do you think?

leebottrill Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Oh and the noise is coming from the front of the car, not the back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leebottrill Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
