Hi folks,
Bought a 2.0 a couple of months back and noticed a slight rattly kind of noise when I go over slightly rough ground, slightly rough as in not potholed but, uch it's too hard to explain. Took my dad out and he had a listen and was of the opinion that it's normal & characteristic of the car. Any other 2.0 owners experienced this?

It could be a few things.
Where abouts is the noise coming from?? if it's the front, then it's possible that it could be the Top Mounts for the sturts.
If it's the back, it could be your Bushes (no sniggering now).

I'm just making guesses here.

what year is the car? 2.0 so it either has to be a mk1 hgt or a mk2 2.0 multijet 165?

It's a 2009 on 17k miles off the top of my head. Hard to locate for definite, think it's the back.

ok, are you sure things like tools etc are secure? try and wiggle the exhaust to see if thats knocking off anything

alot of the bravo suspension design is GM based and i think i remember a few reports of creaky sounding components, wouldn't worry about it tbh, just keep an ear on it to see if it can be pinpointed down or worsens

bene in a few new bravo diesels and none knocked or rattled... does it sound like its interior or exterior? the exhaust would be the option to look at imo too

mines ratled when i had my bravo it its comon on fiat suspensions as my grande does it aswell stupid bearings on top of the front struts fail very easily but sounds like its nothing really mechanincal probably a heat sheild or similar hanging about maybe the brake disc plates or something

Now sorted. It was the plastic on the inside of the boot lid. Hardly a technical issue at all lol.

so it doesnt knock or creak at all now? winner
