titles supposed to read LOUD rattling, not load

 

Have you tried the shields around the manifolds from the cylinder heads, that's where I had most problem.

On overrun, it sounded like when you twanged a metal ruler on the edge of your desk at school

 

lol yes sounds just like that. i might try that, well get my mate to look at that as i can only see from the turbo down, dont really wanna go poking about as dont know much on these engines! will get him to have a ganders at what u suggested tho mate cheers for the tip

 

mine was the wastegate on the turbo, rate annoying, if it does it when at idle push on the actuator rod with the wooden end of a hammer or something similar (so you dont burn yourself) if the noise goes then thats your problem, this noise sounds the same as a heatshield
