PROBLEM :bad-words:
I have a rattle that sounds like a heat-shield resonating.
The noise is only really there when accelerating and between i guess 2-3000rpm.
It does it in practically any gear providing the revs are low enough YET will not replicate the noise when idling only when the gearbox is under load.
It sounds like it is coming from the passenger side.
RESOLUTION ATTEMPTS
I have removed the black drive shaft heat-shield covering the bearing.
I have removed the exhaust manifold heat shield.
I have removed the i-vtec cover.
I have removed the plug cover.
The CAT shields have been pulled and checked and seem solid enough to believe its not them (plus they are too central for where the noise comes from)
does anyone have any suggestions as to what it might be? or any suggestions of how i can replicate the noise whilst being able to listen from the outside or underneath?
