anywebsite Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Lots of different things could cause rattling, some of them serious, you should get a mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a "mechanic" caused the problem by stage one tuning what ever that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anywebsite Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Sounds like a "mechanic" caused the problem by stage one tuning what ever that is. Maybe get a different one. I'd definitely trust any mechanic with my car more than people responding to a "what's that rattling noise?" question on Sheffield Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiveof Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 probably the engine timing too advanced, hence the rattling or "pinking" from the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peak4 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Could be "Pinking" i.e. Pre-Ignition. If so, it certainly needs looking at sooner rather than later unless you want to severely damage the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrejuan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I am almost certain that it is "pinking" This is usually incorrect timing (but not normally on electronic ignition) or sometimes fuel mixture. These days it is very rare but still possible. The reason for it is down to unburned fuel igniting in the valve ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
