Really annoying rattle.

MB London · 08-28-2009, 04:44 AM

Have the most frustrating sound coming from inside of my car, its do my head in

.
It sounds like something is rolling from side to side. If I turn the car from side to side quickly you can hear it very clearly, it’s difficult to describe the sound, but its like a big marker pen rolling from side to side. There is nothing (that I can see) under my seats. It sounds like its coming from within the centre consol or maybe the rear ashtray. Can anyone help? Thanks

Are you sure it's not something in the glove box?

No, its definitely coming from either the centre consol, or under one of the seats

Mine's going in for a rattle next week (very minor)

But also a stuck seatbelt (the rattle is the same area so maybe related?) and new intercooler pipe.

Coin or somesuch got into the heater outlet vents under the seats?

Maybe i will just take it in to the dealers, I am sure they get plenty of people like me moaning about rattles

Also my car creaks like an old man. Every time I pull away it makes tiny creaking sounds like its suffering from arthritis, I think maybe the fact I have put 19' 225's on the car recently doesn’t help.

I would really like a quiet car. Is this just mine or does anyone concur with this

I had a rattle that was driving me mad - went to stealers, they found problem and sorted.

Check under the car, maybe one of the many plastic wings or panels is loose. I have had this a couple of times, mostly damage from road debris.

Noise now sorted, the wifey's lipstick was to blame
