cliffcoggin Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 No it's not normal. The chances are that the rattle is caused by the exhaust is hitting the underside of the car, which in turn could mean that the engine mounting rubbers are soft or broken. Grab the exhaust pipe when it is cold and shake it hard to see if you can reproduce the noise. To test the engine mounts you need to lever against them with a crowbar, or get an assistant to let the clutch bite gently while you watch the engine. It should go without saying that both handbrake and footbrake should be firmly applied during the test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Link doesn’t work for me. Diagnosing noises without having the car to examine is very much a black art, and falls under the heading of guessing! I suggest you book this in with a trusted local independent - without delay. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
