The dreaded rattle!

[peninsulalawncare]

Yep, only in second gear really though and no matter how smooth i am on the pedals!!!. well, guess it's a windows up, radio on full blast job until.... with any luck these things cause a mechanical breakdown within my 12 month warranty....

well got the van back the noise is still there but has changed pitch to a deeper sound but the van doesnt seem to do it as much and running alot better with a very light clutch now !!!

i guess the same as others that when something breaks it might the cure it on replacement

see this convo just seemed to stop, has anyone found a solution to this all the people that have commented our they the TDDI or TDCI engine ?
Thanks matt

The rattle is caused by the springs on the clutch been broke

[yttam84]

why do you not get any judder as you pull away then ? is that not the idea of the springs ?? and even more so on a DMF one would be an a**hole to pull away ??

[ginsters]

dont know but i had judder i changed the clutch,the spring were broke and in a mess put a new clutch on and its gone

this post is about a rattle tho ill see if i can get a video cos a rattle bang knock or klunck could be taken in so any ways and could be 5 totally different things but this noise is doing my nut in lol and it also seens to be on a very close rev range it like 1750 to 2100 if that

When I changed my clutch the springs on the friction plate were loose. Nice new clutch no more noise.

im talking out of my arse its clearly not the clutch,obviously the rear number plate bulb thats loose

at that rev range could be EGR related or fuel injection related.

disable EGR and try it.

Dmf normal noises normally start from idle and stop at say 1.5k, That is when thewy are active its a good idea to drive above this to not abuse DMF.

Also high gear at low revs really labouring will always put most pressure on clutch and flywheel, so if no noises then you cabn safely say its not clutch flywheel related, and look at other things like transmission, driveshafts, engine.

And pretty sure the 90ps connects only have DMFs fitted.

I have just had one with a rattle at lower engine speeds - the lower alternator mount had cracked.
