my car has got a rattle noise that is getting worse,it sounds like a exhaust clamp rattling loose but it isnt,it only does it on over run at 4k and above,touch the throttle and it goes away again or keep it under 3k on over run it wont do it,and it doesnt do it when acceratling either,just on over run at high revs,anybody got any ideas?

On my old s2 i had this same thing and it ended up beeing the turbo penny in the exhaust housing thats was rattling i thought it was an exhaust clamp aswell even changed my exhaust but it was the penny .

Tony

kosman

The bottom bolt on the alternator came loose on 2 of mine and that rattled and got me well paranoid for a bit. Also, as Tony said, possibly wastegate penny.

Hope you sort it mate, nowt worse than not knowing where a noise is coming from.

kosman

kosman

Had the bolt snapped or just come loose ?

kosman

it had come loose and worn in to a egg shape in stead of being round,so it bollcksed the bracket and alternator threads,had to have 2 new brackets and a new alternator and hopefully that'll cure it.

BigErn

Glad to be of service mate. Nice easy fix

kosman

yep,glad its not owt serious
