V50 General : - Rattling Issue

Harry S · Jun 19th, 2014, 20:56

Please help. My 2005, v50, 2.4i has picked up some sort of rattle. My car is a geartronic. When in gear just before it comes to a complete stop AND also just as I start to pull away I hear a subtle rattle from the engine compartment. Sounds almost like two hard plastics bumping against each other. Its also more prominent when car is still on its way to normal operating temp. I cant find the sound when I open the bonnet. Any of you know what I must look at?

I would check out the lower torque mount

I found the rattle. It seems to have been the little black cover next to the air fliter. I think the parts worked loose from the daily driving. once I had taken it apart and put it back together again it stopped.
