Hey everyone, i just purchased my 2006 evo rs and i have about 200miles on it. Everytime i start the car i hear sort of a faint rattle coming from the engine bay during warm up. Also i hear a rattle when im on the freeway if i let go of the gas. Please help!! i dont know if my car is F****d up or not! Thank you!

 

I don't think we can magically determine the source of your rattle. If it rattles when you start the car, then can you not try to pinpoint it? If it does it while idling, then get out of the car and look/listen around the engine bay. If it's a constant noise and you can't find it, then take it to the dealer.

If you're just talking about a little interior noise, then it's normal and of no concern.

 

Take it to the dealership and let them figure it out.

 

make sure your air filter box is properly closed.

 

it will go away when u show up at the dealer...just watch...haha!

 

idle - throw out bearing noise.

on highwa - decel noise fromt transfer case.

 

it could be anything... or even a bad tranny or engine mount...

 

back to the dealer

if you press the clutch and it goes away, it's normal Have it on my 03 for 3 years

 

it may seem indifferent but drive it for couple more months. noise you're hearing may go away. I know it did on my 04 RS. you'll hear all sorts of mechanical clanking that you're never used to in other cars.

seriously, especially in our RS it's more pronounced!!!

I'd just double check under the hood for basics like fluids and clamping...

 

I get the same noise on my IX. Ive only had the car for a month. The noice does go away when I press the clutch in. It this because of the throw out bearing, any way to fix it.

 

That's common, but I don't consider it normal. It indicates a bad throwout bearing, which should be replaced/fixed under warranty.

 

slightly noisy throwout bearing doesnt mean its bad, its just audible, all throw out bearings make some noise, but bare bone cars like ours its more noticeable. my old car which was a six speed manual, did the same thing.

 

Thanks everyone for the replys. I only have like 230 miles on it and im alittle worried lol! I will probably bring it to the dealer just to make sure...im just scared the service people are gonna gun the hell out of the car once i leave the car there.
