Sorry for another post folks, I notice in my new select manual that under 2k under light to med acceleration there is a rattle, like a pulley type rattle or the rattle u get when putting car underload up a hill in wrong gear? So hard to describe but sure everyone has heard it in their lifetime. Very common in 4cyl. Anyway suppose I should ask does yours do it?
What car and engine?
Also no it shouldn't be making that noise.
Said select manual so possible the new Astra j?
try 98 petrol next time you fill up. when i got my new astra j, they put 91 in and i also heard some noise which i didnt expect to hear. then halfway back home, i had to put petrol in. filled her up with 98, as i always do, and noise gone.
Seems to have gone a fair bit with premium fuel. It sounds like the tensioner shake when under load which is a common thing
