Hey all,

 

Generally happy with my Sportline but recently its developed a rattling/vibration in the cabin. Its more prevalent when revs are higher, such as cold start and at certain points in the rev range. 

 

Before I take it into my local dealer has anyone had anything similar? The video below is taken near the drivers side speaker, I am wondering if the speaker is blown although this wasnt playing anything at the time.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Doug

 

Could b the famous fuel line rattle.

The sounds appears to come from the door speaker.

In fact it comes from the fuel lines vibrating against the floor pan near the door.

 

The 280 AWD models suffer from this.

Thanks JR, sorry for the late reply. 

 

Its not got any worse, but it has just appeared and only after having the music up quite loud. Its exacerbated by a weird rattle in the door which appear to be near the ambient lighting. Shame, add in the creaking and cracking from the sunroof and its not the quietest cabin to be in, which is a shame given its more premium target.

Mutst have been the music, change genre! Sorry for the bad joke .... before dwelling into older posts, any chance to quickly check this fuel line? Or is it a jack/stands/lift job if the covers need to come down?
