DC5R rattle

[The Dog]

wen i turn the car on in the morning (b4 the car is warm) there is an annoying rattle comin from sumwhere n i cant figure out where its comin from. wen the car is warm or wen i give it a bit of a rev it goes away.
its not the exhaust...
any ideas?

Any more specific details? Maybe roughly what part of the car the sound is coming from (e.g. engine bay or underbody)

im not sure if this is the noise your describing, but...

if its a loud shaking/rattling sound when the car is cold, and goes away after its warmed up it could be the catylic converter thats crapped itself.

this happened to me a couple months back and the rattling went after i changed my cat. I later found out that the honeycomb structure inside my cat was stuffed.

hope it helps :thumbsup:

could be valve tapets that need adjusting

nice to hear u sorted the problem out.

im not sure if the jdm one is the same as the aus spec. but when i changed my cat, i just went aftermarket.

The JDM cat is incorporated into the lower 2-1 half of the JDM manifold so it will not fit an AUDM car without the 4-2 upper part or some custom fabrication.
