John Harvey Member 28 Member For: 15y 4m 6d Gender: Male Location: two wells....the bush Posted 22/02/12 09:39 AM Share Posted 22/02/12 09:39 AM Hey all,Started getting this pesky rattle at idle.Obviously hard to explain what sort of rattle it is, but I get it once the car is warm and sits at a lower idle rpm. If I feather the throttle to keep the rpm up it goes way, then back at idle it comes back.Its hard to tell exactly where its coming from as sound does sometimes travel through other parts.I have tried rags between different parts of the intercooler piping that was sitting on other parts. Nothing changes. Tightened all the exhaust flanges. Still rattling.Only things I think it could still be is maybe the baffle in the catalytic converter or maybe something to do with maybe bearings in the front pulleys??? sorry if this sounds stupid but I really have looked over alot of things with no result!Maybe someone has had a similiar problem. Ill kick myslef if its something easy/stupidThanks in advance Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79024-strange-rattle-at-idle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard loose flex plates/flywheels etc. its a different noise and behaves differently.Not much point without as sound clip Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79024-strange-rattle-at-idle/#findComment-1200496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
