rattling

Rene answered 13 years ago

does it only rattle in 1st and second gear or through out your gears.... it can be a drive shaft flex disk or your driveshaft support bearings or your wheels are not balanced ....

rattles or creaks?door seals make alot of noise.use silicon spray.rattles from the doors on the ci are from the window regulator nuts that bmw have upgraded but you can usually get away with finding the old ones inside the door and tightening them.

Maintenance & Repair
I have a 2005 Bmw 330i zhp. I was driving out of a gas station when it suddenly started making engine noise, then the oil light came on, then the check engine light. I drove it about 2 miles home where i parked it. I scanned it and now reads p0012. I changed out the Vanos sensor $200 later and it did not fix. I have checked the oil filter and it looks okay. I run 93 octane and use castrol fully synthetic with perfect changed invtervals. I reset the code and the check engine light went away but the oil light is alluminated from the start and its RED. The engine makes a ticking/knocking noise as if it has something inside it rattling. Just got the car back a few weeks ago from the transmission shop $2500 LATER and now its doing this. I dont know what it could be and i cant just continue to throw money into it. Can anyone please tell me what this could be? this is really hard on me as its my only car.. 4 Answers
