Anyone experience a vibration/rattle from instrument cluster area at around 4,000 rpm when accelerating hard? It has gotten steadily worse over the weeks....just wanted to get other people's opinion before I got to Fiat and they fob me off with the `oooh, we've never heard of that before!!! (just like the squeaking brakes!!):rolleyes:

I bet it's the speedo cable. If its touching the sides of the cluster it can vibrate/resonate. The normal cure is to pack some foam rubber between the cable and the surface of the cluster.
