Sandals Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Welcome to the club! Does it sound like something is lose? Maybe check the heatshield over the turbo (driver side, just below the intercooler). Does it rattle all the time or only at those RPM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james small Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Only at those rmp if I rev it up hard nothing if I pick the revs up slowly and hold it there sounds to me like engine bit funny how it's got no worse .I'm a mechanic and work on cars every day it's just puzzling me could be a heat shield but sounds more metallic to me : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
