rattle

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had the same trouble as me. My dashboard rattles for no reason at all,on smooth roads as well as more uneven surfaces. I have traced the noise to somewhere around the center speaker grill. I've taken the grill off, sprayed lubricating oil around and its still the...

As per the title, the glovebox lid on my 2003 W203 rattles and I find it rather annoying. Is there anything I can adjust to make it stop? Many thanks .

Hi My son has just bought a1998 CLK320 and when he looked at it last night all was well. He picked the car up today and has noticed that on tick-over there is a metallic rattle which goes away if you bring the revs off tick-over no noise/rattle from the engine when above tick-over.The sound...

hey folks.. thinking out loud here.. back to my previous thread about the slight rattly noise from under the car, I was talking to my MOT guy today and he suggested the rattle could be from the torque convertor.. some one on here suggested it might be tappet buckets or something like that...

Mildly facetious question, I am assuming its primary purpose is to muffle noise from the engine, but I'm also curious whether there's any other purpose. I've discovered that the engine cover is responsible for the majority of unpleasant noise from my engine - resonating as the engine...

I get a little rattle in the rear end of my 2001 estate, sounds like the exhaust but checked everything as has garage and nothing to be seen, renewes the auto box mounting as it was shot but to no avail, where do I start ? anti-roll bar bushes? which drop links could cause rear end wobble ? ideas ?

I have been slowly fixing a few little niggles on my 2003 C320 saloon and I am now enjoying the car very much.:bannana: Two things remain that are still unresolved and I am not sure if they are related or not. When driving slowly in traffic I can hear a light metallic rattle that seems to...

I have recently purchased a 2008 C class and the dashboard has started to make a rattle. I've located the source and it apprears to be coming from the centre grill on the dashboard. The parking sensor is located on the grill, as is the light sensor and if i apply slight pressure to the grill the...

About two weeks or so ago I had the front crankshaft bearing replaced. Since then it has developed a tappitty / pinking noise when acclerating and putting the engine under load. Car booked in for next Monday. Anyone any ideas? The noise wasn't there before the bearing replacement so is this...

Hello Men, I`ve just given the old bus (300td) a well deserved refit, and have acquired a front o/s clonk. The refit consisted of changing oil/filter, ATF/filter, diff oil, glowplugs; and perhaps more relevent, front lower susp. bushes, antirollbar bushes and drop links. Just been road...

I've recently purchased a C63 standard. So no PP or PPP. It has 19 inch rims and 4000 miles. Excellent condition and car all round with everything still very tight however... There appears to be a significant steering knocking sensation over bumpy roads. The column physically feels tight...

Hi all I have an annoying 'rattle' coming from the rear interior of my E320 CDi Estate (2003). After pulling appart everything/every panel that I can and tightening/padding out anything that could possibly rattle, I have narrowed it down to the rear seat back on the N/S. When the seat back...

I noticed today when I had the window down there was a bit of a metallic exhaust rattle when the throttle was blipped. I've already had the back cats issue and had them removed the other year (rather than replace the entire system). So I'm wondering is this likely to be a simply loose exhaust...

I've only had the car awhile, but I've noticed say when parked near a wall, the resonance is very chainy, often squeaky... I've just changed the Oil with 5w-40 Fully Synthetic and the stuff that came out wasn't half bad, so I'd assume it isn't a tappet issue. There is a definately chainy...

I've noticed for a while a rattle coming from behind me in seemingly the area of the rear storage compartments behind the front seats. I am installing a KCE 425i ipod connector at the minute so have removed the rear panelling to access the TV tuner. (note - powered up the Alpine unit today to...

Hi, There seems to be a rattle coming from the "door" to the Glove box on my 2004 W211. I think one of the plastic clips on the inside of the door has broken off and is now making an annoying noise as it falls left & right under moderate cornering. Can someone let me know how to gain access...

Got a cat rattle from front cat o/s/f where lambda sensor plugs in - had it up on ramp and sure enough it's broke apart from inside. Is this a new section needed or can the two front cats on this engine be removed - research on web, some people say yes can be done, others say no. Can I just...

Hi All If I were to say that on my 1999 CLK 230, when outside the car, I can hear a rattle from the mid point, almost underneath the front seats, but only when the car is in park, that sounds like a loose or broken exhaust mounting, would I be correct? The sound goes completely when placed...
