cornish6544 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 So recently my car has developed a sort of rattle noise its hard to explain but the noise is on when the engine is idling and speeds up and slows down when you rev it. I popped the bonnet and had a listen doesn't sound at all like its coming from the engine bay. It sounds like its maybe coming from the gearbox or mid exhaust area :S it sounds its loudest from outside the car. any ideas? should i be worried?

Linx Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 An exhaust leak seems the obvious thing. Maybe from one of the manifolds? Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 There is a mounting bolt on the exhaust to the gearbox. Check that hasn't come loose. If mine is out of position it will knock around the tunnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornish6544 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Cheers for the advice , i had a spare half hour today to lift it up it 100% sounds like its coming from the gearbox or downpipe. The exhaust is only 1 year old and was bought new so i wouldn't think its any damage there i think it could be the downpipe as you say maybe a bolt come loose as the downpipe has been in the car since i had it. Ill take another look on saturday and update 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
