Hi Guys,

I looked on the forum but couldn't find anything on this problem.

Anyways my car has been standing for 3 weeks while i've been away, I came back from holiday, looked at all the levels etc and the car was fine and started 1st time.

A few hundred miles later I began hearing a rattle/vibration from the engine, mostly when applying the throttle. The noise does increase with revs until you cant hear it at all due to the engine noise. I've snooped around the engine bay while the car was running idle and it seemed the source of the noise was coming from the hand side of the airfilter. I've highlighted it in the attached pics. There is no signs of anything being lose from what I can see.

Has anyone got any ideas or had a similar issue? I'm hoping it can be a quick fix as there is no difference to engine performance and no warning lights.

If I cant figure it out i'll have to book it in with my local garage.

Cheers
 
Ahh its actually a hissing coming from the exhaust, probably manifold. I'll get it seen to later on in the week!
