Hi all,
Before I start, I just want to say that I know this sounds ridiculously general and it may not be easy to pin point my problem.
This has been happening for a while now, but it seems to be worse and more frequent recently..
When I pull away in first, my car seems to rattle. Its definitely coming from the engine. It makes a kind of rattling noise as if its the exhaust.
It also does it when I change to second and take my foot off the clutch. The same noise happens.
Ive looked in the engine bay, rocked the engine from side to side and just generally looked for anything obvious, but I can't see anything..apart from..
I have a slight oil leak around the rocker cover and there is a gaiter (which I think is the clutch) that is completely perished and is just sliding up and down the metal it is protecting. However, I don't see how this would make a rattle.
I was just wondering if there are any known components that could cause a rattle like I have talked about above?
Any help would be gratefully received.
Rhys
