Rattle on Idle

[dazza]

Another rattle thread sorry.

Don't know where the noise is coming from problem is only does it when in D,R,S if i put it into N or P it stops. Car is idling at about 800. Fuel lines maybe??

Mines a manual and rattles and squeaks when pulling off or in wrong gear.

Mine only rattles when idling.

Where the 2 plastic fuel lines come into the engine bay left side near water expansion tank, give them either a slight push backwards and see if it stops 

Thanks mate will give it a try.

Pulling off in wrong gear?

[Vwgtiking]

No. either pulling off or driving in too low a gear.

It's the air box causing this rattley noise

I would second this. Had the same problem on the GTI my gf just bought and the line had popped out the clip....20 second fix!

so i packed the fuel lines as i've seen here.

Still got the noise only in drive and foot is fully planted on the brake. Its very noticeable.

Cant see the fuel lines coming into the engine bay think there is a cover over them.

[dazza]

I don't think its the fuel lines too loud.

Here is a vid you can hear it start and stop as i select in and out of drive. (full volume needed)

[dazza]

Could this be down to the DMF?

[dazza]

Still think that's the plastic fuel lines ..try doing what I said under the bonnet , takes seconds fella 

Follow the fuel stainless fuel lines on top of engine, and you will see 2 pipes appearing from around the water expansion bottle, one is the feed in pipe, the other the fuel return pipe which goes back to the fuel tank. Just give them a slight push and the noise Will stop.

Gave the pipes a push still the same.

Anyone got any other ideas?

Is it worth taking the starter motor off to check the play in the DMF?
