Any more ?

 

Bugeye rattle, to R of steering wheel behind dash. aircon noise at 3000rpm- not sure if this happens to all of them->same nosie with my last one.

 

My classic has a rattle coming from the roof upholstery, If i touch one of the blanking plates above the drivers head it goes.

Also the front doors rattle when the stereo gets cramked up.

 

Anyone else got a nasty sounding fan? the more I turn mine up the more rubbing noises it makes, Took it to the dealer and they said it was normal (its a MY02) Anyone get this?>

 

My fan makes a bit of a racket , but it drowns out the sound of the piston slap !!

MY02 Passenger seat squeeks sometimes when someone sits on it and I get a sharp pain in my left hand side around my ribs a ringing in my ears at speeds over (the limit) apart from that nothing

 

MY03 WRX

instrument pod rattles - light pressure on the bottom or side stops it, otherwise much better assembled than I ever expected...

 

Door panel on back passenger door rattles. I just make sure the burble drowns it out. I`ve read a thread on how to fix it, but havent got round to it yet.

 

I've had the window wind noise thing and it was solved for free by my dealer at its service. They adjust the angle of the window or something.

Storage box on top of dash ok

Glove compartment a nightmare (rag stufed in that !)

The passenger seat - anybody else find that? If so, what's the cure

(99 STi5)

 

The aerial rattles on my MY00 classic, but not all the time, in fact most of the rattles on the car just seem to come and go completely at random. I've also got something rolling about inside the channel under the seat, a click from the drivers side B pillar, a squeak coming from god knows where and various dash rattles. Still a great car though

 

Whats a rattle? the stereo is on too loud

 

O2 STi - right behind my right ear there is a rattle in either the doors or the centre pillar damned if I can find it - it is driving me mad!

Heat shield rattle I presume, that comes in at 3000 rpm and goes after about 200 more revs - crap really on such an expensive car it seems as though you have a piece of aluminium foil that resonates then stops - god its annoying

 

MY99 : No rattles to report, so either I'm really lucky or just plain deaf!

MY01 WRX - the seat belt catch rattles squeeks!

get someone to sit in it?

 

When I start the car from cold something rattles from inside the engine, then it goes when its warm

MY00 Rear passenger side door- something squeaks? I've heard its quite common?

 

A rather annoying squeak from the passenger rear door of my wagon, when the window's open.
And a boomy noise from the exhaust, as I've not worked out where to put the soundproofing....
And a heatshield rattle.

 

I had a metallic rattle noise which drove me completely mad in the first few days after picking up the car. Turned out to be the zipper on the removable seat cover on the passenger side buzzing against the rest of the zip! It's hidden within the cover.

Others:
1. Faint intermittent rattle from somewhere in the driver's door.
2. Squeak from instrument binnacle which goes if I squeeze the top part of the dash above it.
3. Terrible CD player.

 

n/s rear seat belt top bracket cover, drivers door, top of dash/ vent, something in dash when moving off in too high gear/low revs in traffic queues...

 

The tension rods for the boot lid rattle the loudest, closely followed by "something" on the passenger side b-pillar and occasionally the heater fan does an impression of det, sounds exactly like it if it does it when your booting it :roleyes:
