Rattle
« on: 28 August 2011, 08:58:56 »
Hello, there 's a rattle coming from somewhere under my omega estate. I can hear it while driving slow with windows opened, rattle can't be heard inside a car.  I've already tried the exhaust and heat shields, no rattle, I don't find where it comes from.  Anyone had this issue before? Thanks

It doesn't matter, always when I drive over those little anoying bumps on the roads it rattles. Seems like something is loose but can't find what, it's metal rattle. Minor anoyance but drives me crazy.... :(

there are some devices that a number of sound detectors are attached.. some services/mechanics have those.. it would be easier with those imo..
