Im About To Petrol Bomb My 172

[Lee-182]

I cant take any more, theres a loud rattle/vibration near the front clocks at the top. Its making my ears bleed, Its so loud i can here it over the stereo.

Will renault have a look under warrenty?

Most probably not knowing renault.

 

[Alan]

Get a better stereo or a decent exhaust on there...better than giving it to the reno monkeys!!

 

[Leeshez]

Mine rattles there also.

 

[bmh.01]

You'll struggle to find one that doesn't rattle tbh, if your that bothered taking the dash top off isn't that difficult.

 

[Lee-182]

just whip the top of the dash off, its really easy, I did it loads of times.

 

[182nic]

how easy? mine needs to come off

Rattles are installed at the factory in Dieppe. In fact some rattles were an optional extra.

They are a feature with cheaply produced European cars - deal with it sonny!

9 screws = 3 on top in vents 2 blow clocks, top of steering cloum just clips off just give it a tug 3 behind passenger side trim 1 behind drivers side trim which just clips out then there are the 2 panels which go up the side of the window each has one clip near the top then the dash will pull towards you the lift out through passenger side door easy take ya 10 - 15 mins tops :rasp:

...or buy a CTR LOL :rasp:

I did

Taking the dash top off is piss easy - there was a guide floating around on CS somewhere. I had mine off myslef 5 or 6 times for headunit installation, I was initially concerned I'd create more rattles by not refitting it properly but that was never an issue. Siliconed my airvents near the front to stop them vibrating, used a lot of felt to stop any plastic-to-plastic moments where possible. Worked brilliantly.

i found what s vibrating its the plastic lens that cover the speedo.
