kie_dub 0 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Had my exhaust fixed recently as it was blowing and noticed when i have got it back that its making a rattle/tapping noise. I didnt notice it before it went in for the exhaust to be fixed but the exhaust was blowing so might have covered this noise up.The noise sounds like when your tappets need doing BUT it isnt there all the time :s if im right, the tappets are there even on tick over (the noise that is). I notice the noise under acceleration.ANybody any ideas as to what it could be? exhaust may have something to do with it buit i think itsw highly unlikelyCheers peeps in advance Link to post Share on other sites
The Monk 50 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 You checked your heat shield or got under the car and given the exhaust a push or wobble to see if there is contact with the chassis? Link to post Share on other sites

hopefulVR6owner 0 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 just a thought i had a rattle on a previous car under hard acceleration turned out to be the engine pinking!!! so after a couple of weeks of thought and diagnostics could only put it down to poor fuel so ran red x injector cleaner through it and used shell fuel only ever since! never done it again.
