#1: Rattling noises driving me nuts!!! Author: Razor34, Location: CroydonPosted: Tue Apr 10, 2012 2:19 am ---- Hi,
Got a really annoying rattle and it is driving me nuts. The car is a Peugeot 206 1.4 GLX 02 Plate.
Basically when I start up the car and drive there is a rattle from the front but it is only intermittent and goes away mostly when the car warms up. The exhaust is all sound from the CAT back and clamps are in place. The aux belt and tensioner spring have been replaced also so I know it is not that.
Can somebody help as it is really peeing me off!!!!

I *think* that is the one that normally causes people problems.

Yeah, you can see it when you open the bonnet.
It gets very hot with the engine on so don't touch it unless the engine hasn't been used.
That is usually the main culprit.

Is this quite common and are they easy to replace?
#11: Re: Rattling noises driving me nuts!!! Author: shadow, Location: gloucesterPosted: Tue Apr 10, 2012 8:51 am ---- they are plastic slot clips (push and twist to lock/unlock) so very easy to break cost pence from a main dealer.
