Hi guys,
Question:
Since a couple of weeks, I have this interesting phenomenon on my 308GT4 engine:
When it is really cold (about 2 minutes after starting), it will produce a very distinct rattling sound, coming from the righthand side of the engine (cambelt side). It will rattle for about 15 seconds, and then the noise is gone again, not to return until the next cold start.
The rattling continues when I stop the car, so it is not wheel or transmission related.
Coming from the cambelt side, I am thinking of idler pulleys.
Makes sense?
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Hans
