From cold when I start my UK 2000 Scoob I get an aweful rattling noise, which sounds like a heat shield. When the car has been driven for say half an hour or so its fully warmed up, the noise vanishes.....

I jacked the car up whilst it was cold to find there is a Pipe with a Heat Shield that bolts under the Turbo then goes down to bolt to the Manifold. The welds seemed to have broken so I could wiggle this heat shield. I rewelded this to stop the movement... But the noise is still there.

I have been told there have being similar problems with the manifolds, but, the guy who told me being fair didn't explain it very well almost to the point I thought he was talking foreign..... something to do with a cowl on the manifold is the only part I actually understood..


If any of you Guys & Gals could shed some light on this annoying noise I would appreciate it hugely.

Thanks

Have you checked the up-pipe?

Has been known for the cat to come loose in the downpipe and rattle like a barsteward.

Yeah my cat broke loose in my up pipe, was just the excuse for me to get the decat finally!

This is De Catted too

It seems to sound around the exhaust manifold area, but I will have a look at this down pipe.... I assume you mean the pipe from the turbo to the manifold? if so I welded the heat shield onto the pipe again so it isn't that

P.S
Sorry for posting in the wrong area
