GRINGOG60 0 Posted September 24, 2003 Hi, I getting a little worried about my car making a funny rattling noise at certain Rpm's. It does it just after 2500rpm and a bit more further up but isnt a constant rattle. :shock: Ive had the car a while and it's only just started doing it- had the charger rebuilt when i got the car about 9 months ago and put about 10k on it. Ive changed the knock sensor as the cable insulation was broken, replace the cam belt and tensioner its not a noise coming from the tappets as im familiar with the noise they make and its not pinking either. I dont drive the car gently infact it gets a spanking most days (the car that is- i have a girl freind) :twisted: but i always wait until it's cold. Can anyone shelp or has had this problem?

dazzyvr6 0 Posted September 24, 2003 sounds very much like your exhaust heat shield is loose/broken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60 0 Posted September 24, 2003 ya i agree with dazzy. i had my whole exhaust replaced mid-summer... and the fuggin rattle was still there! there was a heat shield buried up inside the bay that we had to get at from below and cut out of there. problem solved.
