Sounds like someone is actually eating cereal extremely loud in my ear...sort of a rattle on cold start ups, not every time but most times.
Even happens after driving the car that day and being left for few hours, before jumping back in it. Ratttttttttttttttttttttleeeeeeee...1..2..3...seconds then it's gone :/
Have posted on another thread, sort of hijacked it I suppose, my bad. Thought I'd best start my own.
Going in on Friday to get checked over and hopefully find the route of the problem, after reading through the forums intensively...I have gathered that it can either be the Vtec gear or some chain along with the tensioner. Correct me if i'm acting like a tool
My worst nightmare is the Chain, i've read £1400 from a Honda dealership on here...maybe a lot less for a local garage ( I am hoping).
I do have the exhaust manifold heatshield that is rusted at the bottom secure point. Making no contact or secure-ness to the manifold itself at the bottom bolt. I am still waiting on a new manifold arriving for that...Now i'm thinking, perhaps it's just that rattling away off the manifold on start ups, will need to try budge something underneath the shield temporarily to see if that stops the noisy rattle on "all engines a go-go"...
Suggestions?
