noise
Hi I'm new to the rotary world and I'm having a issue With my rx8.
It's 2006 m/t and has about 70,000 miles The issue is when I'm on first gear or sometimes fully break I will hear this metal clattering sound in the front. Please help it's bugging the heck out of me.:banghead: |
Check the Exhaust heat shield under the car, that ratteles alot, I won't advise you to remove it however, just tighten it up somehow.. I used a clothe hanger yes the metal one and the sheild has been secured since then.
Also, once the car is warmed at normal temperature, pop the hood and make a short video of where the noise is comming from, that way an expereinced user will be able to help direct you in the right direction. :-) |

Sounds a lot like a heat shield rattle to me but I have seen other posts about the same type of rattle and it turned out to be something with the flywheel.
|
so hear is a real video of my car issue
|
I'm going to take a guess but from the sound and when it's happening could it be the clutch pad springs have gone bad and makeing this sound?
|
Thats the pieces of the broken honeycomb in the cat rattling around. Get the midpipe with cat out and gut it out or buy a new one.
|
So it turns out it was the honeycomb. Thank you for your guys help much appreciated:icon_tup:
