Rattle at low speeds
-> 206 Problems
#1: Rattle at low speeds Author: Matthews206, Location: Blackburn PostPosted: Fri Jul 05, 2013 1:46 pm

Hi guys,

Just after a bit of help/advice...

I've noticed a metallic rattle coming from what sounds like the engine bay when I am driving a low speeds, most noticeable if I am in a gear slightly higher than I should be.

Has anyone ever had/heard of anything similar?

Thanks

Chris

Ecu rattling? Coolant bottle? Heat shield? Get under the car and bonnet and start knocking and shaking things.

I have solved the problem now thanks to an oil leak of all things!

I found my gearbox was dripping oil and subsequently found the bolt on the gearbox were loose! No idea how this happened though...

Thanks for the help though
