gti rob Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 hi guysi recently brought my second lupo gti ( 2001 y reg, 5 speed) and have noticed that when engine is under load eg. driving along at 40mph in 3rd and i put my foot down on the throttle there is a rattling noise coming from the engine bay. sounds as if it could be a tensioner or cambelt puley. just wandered if anyone else has experienced this beforecheers rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggylupo Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 does it stop when you push the clutch in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Could well be a heatshield rattling or something.Does it do it in neutral? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDanni Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Don't know if it's anything related, but I get a slight rattling sound whenever I'm between 1600-1900 RPM.I THINK it's just part of the exhaust resonating, anyone else think of anything?
