Rattling

[FPVWEPN]

Hi guys new to this fourm I think this is my first post!!!

I have a 04 mk 2 t 6 speed in rapid ( sedan).

Had a few mods done to it latest one being power mods courtesy of the wog!!

Had a xforce 3.5 inch exhaust fitted to my car with the twin dump nad metal cat.

I have noticed that there is a rattle coming from under the car somehwere at the rear at idle could this be the exhaust???

I noticed your car had a rattle on it when Nick drove it up on the hoist before you had the exhaust was fitted to it, so you can be fairly certain it isn't the exhaust

When I put my Xforce exhaust on I had the same rattle. The exhaust was touching where it goes over the diff. I used a hose clamp on the rubber support to firm it up and stop it from hanging down. It only had to be lifted a couple of mm. Been fine ever since.

It is worth inspecting the heat shields to see if they are loose. Start and idle the car for a few minutes and inspect the shield to see if it is vibrating, resonating at a particular rpm or otherwise making a rattlinging noise. The excessive vibration and rattle may only be apparent at certain rpms and temperatures.

I think it may be over the diff section like you said it is only apparent at idle at certain times and its definately a new rattle never had one like this before the exhaust.

Could it be one of the rubber hangers ????

We might be talking about a different rattle. You could have a bent hanger ect, if you suspect its the exhaust best take it back to Nick and let him fix it
