Peugeot 106 rattling noise in engine area VIDEO: please help

Post by nexer »

Hello French car enthusiasts! :)

I would like to ask you for a favour. As you can hear in the video, my car is producing metal rattling noise when turning slightly to the right. Usually when I take my foot off the gas pedal in higher RPM. The video is taped when driving up to the hill.




Do you have any suggestions or ideas how to fix or find the cause of the problem? I was thinking about engine mounts or ball joints but I don't know how to find out for sure. :(

Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions!

Car: Peugeot 106 1.0i 1996

I can only hear road noise :oops:

Quick things to check:

Gear linkages (could rattle if loose), look at the three under the bonnet, remove air filter box if needed. Check main linkage between lever and bulkhead too.

Exhaust heat shield, these can rattle too.

I can't hear anything either, unless its very high frequency and out of my hearing range.

You can hear it in the video, but I think headphones are necessary. It is mid-higher frequency rattling sound ~1000Hz.

Thank you both for trying and specially Spider for suggesting the places to start with.

And just to clarify this thing. This rattling noise in somehow connected to the wheels because it goes away immediately without any delay when I turn the steering wheel.

Thank you again, I will let you know when I fix it. :-) Have a nice day!
