Title: Rattle from poss exhaust when on load. Any ides?
Post by: fcmbobby on 07 February 2010, 16:13:57

Hi guys I seem to have developed a rattle when the car is on load. When on idle it seems fine. Do you have any ideas of what it could be and how to fix?

Where exactly is the rattle comming from?

Engine area - exhaust manifold

Centre of the car - could be a cat or one of the centre silencers

sounds like a rusted heat shield on the down pipes by the cat sensors.
