Rattling under acceleration, any ideas?

[Rage182]

Not sure if its something to worry about but when i accelerate i can hear a rattling sound, like a screw loose on metal or something. it only happen under acceleration as when i take my foot off the gas to change gear it goes until i accelerate again, also the car is quite sluggish when its cold, first thing in the morning, this only happens for about 5 mins first thing. any ideas? is it normal? does anyone else have the same issues?

Is the noise quite loud?

Noise is loud for me, gets louder the more accelerating i do.. nah not the exhuast... more enginee bay

It may sound like engine bay initially but if you really listen to it [like stay in a low gear and drive @ 6krpm] you will hear it underneath you.....

Mine is sorted now.

It wasnt the exhuast system at all.. it was from the enginee bay, a bolt had become loose underneath the main shaft, causing the vibrating sound. After tightening that all and a lil more it is back to normal now.

Rage, if yours is the same problem as mine then check the enginee bay for a similar problem.

Interesting. Mine sounds too loud for a bolt loose.
