UltraFlynn Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Can you try to describe exactly what rattling you are hearing? I have this very very very very annoying (and embarrassing) rattle and for the life of me I cannot find where it's coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00b Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 yep sure ... its a rattle from under the car ... mainly happens when sat at traffic lights ... as soon as you start moving it goes... also goes most of the time if you put it in N (auto box)... its not a grinding noise. hope that helps n00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraFlynn Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Where does it sound like it's coming from. Passenger or Drivers side? Or just simply underneath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00b Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 simply underneath .... i will know more tomorrow bud .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00b Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 just so i know before i get started are the heat shields on top or underneath the exhaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew7 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 just so i know before i get started are the heat shields on top or underneath the exhaust? Wouldn't shield anything if they were underneath it mate.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraFlynn Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 They are on top. If you've got a digital camera, could you take some photos? Are the heat shield the same on a TT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 i had the same problem and it gets very embarrasing ! the heat shield starts at the bottom of your downpipe and thats where the rattle comes from ! the actual shield raps fully around the exhaust it not just a cover at the top ! i just took mine off and was done with it and that was problem solved !!!

UltraFlynn Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Is this the bit you're talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Mines are all gone now and no more rattles, its bliss as got new exhaust and 2nd decat pipe fitted yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 is it safe to run with no heat shields? Surly they were there for a reason I have an RS*R and I still have the old heat shild's in place (where the original silencers were) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
