Default Heat shield rattle symptomns....

Does this sound like a rattling heat shield?

MY00 btw


Below 2500rpm, when i either hold the revs at that level or as they drop past there, something rattles as if its in the glove box (ive emptied the glove box and it still happens)

Does it sound like the heat shield?

Hi ollie,

Under the passenger footwell is your ecu. It is covered with a plate which my be loose, it is held down with 4 bolts. (10mm spanner) You can pull back the carpet from the top and see if it is that.

Cheers Red.

...and upon removing this plate on mine I found a load of coins (as well as an ECU ) that the previous owner must have had in the glove box at sometime or another

Mine does exactly the same but at around 1750 RPM, i had a look under the car and found the heat shield (where the 4 exhaust pipes join into 1) had a fixing broken off. Put a large washer under the bolt to hold that corner and hey presto.
