4k rattle ? the beggining of ?

You havent driven over anything and its still under the car being dragged around

I thought as much, what shoud I tell the dealer, as I hear they are reluctant to change the part (what is the actual part they replace)?

My car recently went in for its 12k service, they replaced my center section as it was rattling all under warranty - i didnt even know it was rattling!

12K service????

My dealer confirmed 18K 1st service, twice!!!

Which is correct???

172CUP

 

[Jim172CUP]

Might it be the saucer?

Does it sound Cam related, Thats how mine started with a humming and then developed into whining. Its been diagnosed as the Cambelt tensioner and some loose bracket.

Wheel bearing?

 

[paddymph]

right, service IS 12000 (2 yrs), no matter what reno say! Rattling IS centre exhaust section/heat shield.

Must get it done at 12,000 or renault will void the warranty!

Its a Wheel bearing, does it seem to get louder when you go round a roundabout??

Chuck the car from right to left - if the noise get louder/quieter as the weight shifts then its a wheel bearing
