Hi All,

I was hoping someone on here may be able to help me. I have noticed in the last few weeks a rattling noise when driving. It seems to be when pulling off/lower revs that is happens. I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of what to check. It does not do it when idle or when driving normally. 

If you need anymore info please let me know. 

Thanks in advance.

Will have a look into it. Thank you for the suggestion. Doesn't seem to always happen so could be something as simple as that.

I can confirm the issue was not the heat shield and was almost a very expensive issue. If it had not been for your recommendation on speaking to my local Subaru specialist for an MOT then it may not have been picked up.

So thank you 🙂

well come on then, what was it? lol

 

No probs 😄 glad you got it soreted 🙂

Damn was hoping for an answer as my 2010 rx hatch has started this. I know my heat shields need sorting but got a bad feeling it’s not because of them.

Sorry, hadn't been on for a while. It basically had very little oil. Because the previous owner had a bosch oil filter on it was leaking from there.
