Title: metallic 'rattle' on pull off
Post by: cannonfodder on 28 March 2011, 21:39:39

have this annoying rattle on pull off, if i didnt know better, it sounds to me like a heat shield or something rattling. It only does this occasionally, did it again today, the rattle, which can only be described as a metallic rattle, starts off on pull off, it dissapears after the revs pick up, maybe 1000, then returns again with low revs, dissapears when its warmed up. Any ideas guys?

Prime suspect I would say would be the heat shields on the cat/s coming loose...or the exhaust system...

Almost certainly a heat shield imo. Nothing to worry about really, but can be irritating. :y
