SupraTRD83 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Recently took my supe to Kwik Fit (only place open last sunday) as I found that when I pulled up at lights there was a rattle from under the car, doesn't do it all the time but its really annoying. Then yesterday it decided to do the same noise as I was at around 3000rpm and was just about to change gear it made the noise? any ideas? Kwik Fit said it might just be a bit of play in the exhaust but didnt do it before my cars an auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Sounds like it could be the heatsheild around the cats. Get the car either on a ramp or on stands, start it up, get underneath it and have a listen. If the noise stops when you hold your hand on the heatsheilds, theres your problem. Be careful if the car has had a chance to warm up. things will be pretty toasty under there EDIT - you boys are too fast for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Yeah seems stock, not 100% sure but it does look it I would say heat shield then, kwik fit would not be the place to go to get it looked at, they are useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
