Plasticy tapping/rattling sound
-> 206 Problems

#1: Plasticy tapping/rattling sound Author: Davels, Location: Norfolk PostPosted: Sat Apr 23, 2011 2:54 am

Hello,

Another annoying problem which is difficult to describe as its a noise. When I'm going over bumps it sounds like something plastic it loose and tapping against something. There is no knocking whatsoever and the car has recently had most of the front suspension replaced and the car was fine for a good month after.

I've had a look under the car and had it checked out by a garage and they cannot find the cause either. It's irritating as hell and i swear sometimes I can feel whatever is banging through the pedals. Obviously louder when the roof is down but the knocking through the pedals also feels worse.

Anyone have any bright ideas as to the cause?

i have exactly the same problem!!!! its really difficult to describe isnt it, like a shakey, rubbing rattle?

it sounds like its comming from high up on the drivers side under the engine, but neither me/ various garages can find wtf it is!

mine goes away once the car is fully warm, does yours?

ive had it for about 6 months now and nothings changing lol. it would be good if you found out what it was!

thats why ive left mine lol, its not causing any trouble (i dont think haha) but its still pretty random. its so loud on really cold mornings, sounds like the engines about to fall out. but as soon as its warmed up its 100% gone for the entire day untill morning again!. meh

I've had a similar noise problem and was told to pack out the engine cover with rubber o rings where the 6 screws are and since I did that not heard a peep
