Another rattle ... this one is a tapping rattle that only occurs when the aircon/heater is turned on. And becomes louder when I turn the fanspeed manually up.
So I'm going to provisionally diagnose a foreign object somewhere in the system. But how am I meant to find it or remove it? It's coming from the vents near the windscreen.
Check the air filter behind the glove box. If you dont find anything, then you can try driving 100m with the fans off, then suddenly turn the fan up full blast, then down again and so on until it dislodges. Keep the revs at around 2500rpm so there is a bit of vibration going through the car.
Whenever i hit vtec i get a rattle that sounds like its comming from the glovebox
EXACTLY the same here. It annoys me. I also have a gear train whine all the time. I havent had any warranty work since I bought it but im going to book it in for a good fixing up!
I went to the modded XR5 Turbo with Mods - the dark side.....BOOOOST!

Sounds like ball bearings in a bottle. Well, it happens to most Euros and TSX. And supposedly it's the coolant cavitating.
I had a rattle from the left side too.It was the slide down bracket that holds the glove box door from dropping down too far.It had too much free play in the closed position.I fixed it temporarily by cutting out a small square of foam,putting a cut in it so it would slide over the curved bracket and wedge between the door and glove box when closed.Mentioned to the mechanic on first service,and he said he fixes them all the time by taking the door off and adding more grease to the back part of the bracket(you cant see it with the glove box door on)He did it in front of me, but it looked a little too temporary to me so he put my piece of foam on again,but this time behind the glove box door.Problem solved.
Does anyone have a fix for the seat belt adjuster rattle, I note it was raised earlier by Cranial. I asked at my 10k service for the dealer to check and they said they tightened it (really didn't help much). This is such an annoying buzz rattle.

Nope. I think one dude in the US went as far as filling the seat belt adjuster with grease! LOL. If it is possible for your height, use the 2nd position from the top. I notice that the rattling is reduced significantly.
