Rattle from left front

Featured Replies

Hi

 

When I pass a steep speedbump a little faster than i should, there comes a rattling sound from what seems to be the front left side, anyone else have this problem?

I have this too. I've noticed it recently, but that's because my car's been on the blink, so I'm listening for any noise. I think it's just because there's literally no soundproofing in the Citigo's engine bay. Not even on the underside of the bonnet. It's just bare metal. So every bump is felt and heard. I wouldn't worry too much about it, I don't think?

Thanks for your reply, if you got it too, I guess its just the way it is...I hope :-)

 

It's really weird, first I thought it was a bearing but that just clonks, this is like a plastic or metal rattle, hard to explain but these things usually are :-)

Exactly. I originally wondered if it was the airbox's front clip not attached properly and perhaps was bouncing (this would be almost exactly where the noise was coming from under the bonnet!). But my airbox was attached properly. I think it's just different components moving slightly and there's no soundproofing so you really notice it more than you would in another car! :) 

I have it too and I've had it checked and there's no wear on the front at all.

Thanks, now there are 2 with the same "problem" so I'll stop worrying and accept it as a Citigo thing :-)

Haha yes it's that's famous "characteristic" as everyone gets told [emoji6]

I don't mind some "characteristics" as long as it's nothing broke off og in other way damaged, I can live with it, this is really not a problem as it not rattles all the time, only when I'm a little too frisky on the speedbumbs :-) ;-) 

I get the same.... It's the speed bump warning tone.... So you know your going to quick ;)
