Guys

Has anyone either got or heard something like this

My STI7, when the revs are around 5 to 5.5K there is a pretty loud rattling/vibration noise.

I don't hear the noise below 5K, or about 5.5K.

I asked my dealer about it the other day, they don't know what it could be, but want me to bring it in for them to look at it when they fix the knocking noise on the left rear.


Thanks a lot

Hmmm.... sounds familiar.

I've got a similar noise / vibration which seems to be worst from 4-5k RPM. However it's still there all the way to the redline.

It started at approx 2k miles and seems to be getting worse now I've done 3.5k miles.

I originally thought it was an exhaust heatshield but I'm now beginning to think that it's something behind the dashboard.

I've spoken to my dealer too, who has requested that I take he car back for investigation, but I've been too busy lately.

Hi Mark

Come to think of it, if i put my hand on the dash when the noise is present, i can feel the vibration through the dash

Bloody annoying!

Willie When did that start then?

I was hoping to get the noise & the suspension fixed at the same time.

I've just posted a similar thread. My WRX STi UK does exactly the same thing. Did you ever get to the bottom of this annoying noise?

No Phil

Not yet anyway. Car is going into dealers next week sometime to have the centre section and rear silencer changed. So I'm going to ask the mechanics to check this stuff about the brake lines etc.

Really bloody irritating, together with that f'ing knocking from the rear suspension
