sam2.0 10 Posted October 27, 2011 It did do this on the test drive, but thought nothing of it, but now its just annoying. I get a small rasp when I start her up and also when pulling away. It sounds like a piece of thin metal vibrating in the drivers foot well (so I imagine from the engine bay). I have noticed one of the heat shields seems to be attached by cable ties, but seems quite firm. I will be removing it this weekend, and driving the car without it to see if its sorted the problem. I've also got, what seems to be, a bit of a dodgy start up. Its hard to describe, but the car seems almost to choke then fire up. I suppose a video of this would be helpful!

VR6 0 Posted October 27, 2011 Usual culprit would be the CAT heatshield under the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sam2.0 10 Posted October 27, 2011 Ok, does that mean its not curable, or I just need to re-attach it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
