weird rattle sounds

[chrisandthebeast]

i bought a gu today 2004 auto zd30 and their is a weird rattle type noise coming from the engine bay (sounds like near the left side firewall) the noise is only when allready driving from about 50 through the 80kmh and only when you apply light throttle. If you put your foot down a little bit the sound dissappears .... any ideas ???

I had the same sort of noise one day in my old car, all day driving me nuts. Couldn't hear it when stopped and could only hear whilst driving. So finally got home opened the bonnet couldn't see a thing, started the engine couldn't hear a thing, my Missus rang me on the mobile and low and behold my mobile phone wedged in the engine bay with the flap if the cover making all the noise, I assume as it was open. Sorry for the hijack.


Never argue with an idiot, cos he'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience. Y2K
