My variator is rattling but not at tickover which I'm told is normal, I've been told repeatedly that it's probably a heatsheild or something but it's not, the noise starts at around 2000rpm (but I think goes away above 40000rpm)and sounds like the engine is scrap, on tickover it sounds perfect,i disconnected the plug from the actuator 6 months ago and its sounded perfect ever since but I want to fix it properly so does anyone know what is causing it as so many say it's not the variator as that causes a tickover rattle, I'm thinking variator myself but it could be the actuator or the camshaft that are at fault
