Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar rattle...
From first cold start of the day until it has done around 5km, I get a fairly rapid tap tap tap type rattle from the engine bay. It's reasonable load (& I'm a bit deaf too).
This occurs under load or acceleration and at moderate rpm's. As soon as I back off the load it disappears. Re-apply the load & it's back.
My original engine was replaced at 83,000 km due to a similar sounding rattle, which only occurred on much cooler starts & disappeared more quickly. This engine has now done 52,000 kms. It's booked with the dealer to investigate.
