Getting a slight tinny rattle from under the engine but it's at Idle or when pulling away from stationary it goes once im above around 2500 RPM. If I tap the accelerator as the revs die down it happens aswell. I have checked the oil cap and header tank and I dont have any sludgy build ups and the car also drives fine and boosts ok I'm thinking it could be my heat shield maybe

any help welcomed cheers fellas

 

could be a little piston slap

 

is there any remedys for that without replacing half the engine LOL

 

its fine,most impreza or subarus get it. mine still does it after a 3.5k forged rebuild,just warm up and maintain it and should be fine

it still could be lots of other things, get it checked out by a specialist

 

nice one mate thanks for the advise

 

Heatshield rattle?

Tony

 

had that on mine when i first bought her remove heatshield pack with washers between the two halves of shield and refit , problem solved , on mine it was rattling on the 02sensor

 

yea sounds like heatshield rattle to me, not piston slap.

 

I Have the same, Its heatshield Rattle I would have thought.
Will all be gone when I get SS Headers And Downpipe :P

All sorted took out the bolt 2 new washers no more rattle nice one boys another job ticked off the list

 

Have a poke at the up pipe heat shield. My bet is you will be able to spin it round. You can see it just infront of the turbo, buried down in the engine bay.
