Um, what does it sound like? Plastic? Metallic? Where is it coming from? What speed? What's the engine speed?

Can't say for sure... but I'd say its just a normal rattle... Welcome to the STI!! I love my car but it rattles like a 72' pinto...

in second gear when your not hitting the gas just letting the car coast in gear maybe 20 to 25 miles per hour if i had to say where it was coming from id say the underneath the front of the car i guess but its hard to tell !!!

I understand we have two different cars. I have a 00' RS and you have an STI however, Id like to point out that in second gear whenever i hit 2000 rpm and i believe it to be the center diff. So maybe that may be it.

dans07sti · 06-26-2008, 03:04 PM

its only when im coasting though as soon as you hit the gas its back to normal any ideas ?..... I just got the car so i dont know if its normal or not

My curiosity would keep me hunting in case it is something important. That being said, I've had my 07 for about a year and honestly and I don't pay much attention anymore. There's always something rattling or making noise. I just step on the gas and listen to the exhaust

Im getting my exaust put on on thursday thank god !!!...... but this is deffenitly bothering me ... as soon as you hit the gas or press in the clutch to go to neutral it goes away its almost like its the motor thats holding the car back or something

These cars are fully of rattles, noises, and other strange phenomena. It could seriously be ANYTHING, like a loose heat shield, or it may just be normal. FYI, the tranny/driveline does have some noise to it.

There are a few things that rattle in the front of the car. Get under it and check the heat shields on the header and up-pipe as these can get loose and cause annoying rattles. Also, if the rattle is most pronounced after getting on it you could be hearing the waste gate flap. But I am betting that its a constant rattle and its just a loose heat shield. Nothing to worry about, just find it and clamp it down.
