Rattle when letting off the throttle

[BIFCAIDS]

Afternoon guys,

Ok, so I'm getting a rattle on the car when driving the car but it sounds (wait for it)... two washers a couple of mm apart but I've not a clue what it could be, It sounds like its just infront of the gear linkage. Its only developed since we've had it on track, we've uprated the Dog Bone mount.

I know I'm being vauge but its the best I can do I'm not massiveley mechanically minded but I do try.

Mmm. Heatshield type noise?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Im not sure either way I need to get under the car, just hope its nothing serious.

 

[imprezaworks]

I don't think it will be. Check the heatshield first. Is it like a metalic sound? Do you notice it all the time, cold, hot or both?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Yeah its metalic sounding and its Hot or Cold. Like I say sounds like two washers rattling, Ill have a nosy tomorrow after work.

 

[imprezaworks]

It's a difficult one trying to guess the noise so to speak. But I will put 3p on a loose heatshied

I'm with @imprezaworks in that the first place I'd try is both heatshields. The one on the starter motor is my bet.

Thats surprising.... is it cracked at the top?

No well It doesn't seem to be cracked, I think thats just s**t where it looks cracked there.

Quite common for breaking.

I raise you...

I raise you...

Probably the worst job on these IMO. I deploy the ginger dwarf to do mine. Otherwise I'd set it on fire.

I raise you...

I didn't find it to bad tbh.

You have never done an engine mount on a DB7 Vantage.

 

[BoatNonce]

You're absolutely right.
