bit of a rattle

[charliearli1234]

when i pull away or driving at a low speed ,i can hear a rattle sound from engine especially when i have my window it sounds not really loud. sounds like something to do with one of the belts like fan belt maybe mite need tighting ?

 

[dave7368]

the belt is on an automatic spring tensioner,
and would squeak more than
rattle if it needs replacing

Driveshaft / cat / exhaust manifold heatshields?

 

[petie180]

Maybe engine covers etc..defo check the heat shield for the manifold..does your have a etd?

The i-vtec cover was renowned for rattling, cured by putting a few washers between it and where it mounts on the intake mani, or just take it off altogether...
