Hi guys
After hours of searching the web im stumped
My mk1 180 has developed a rattle like sound when either
Pulling away just using the clutch/light throttle
When climbing a hill in a high gear at low rpm and the engine starts to labour
It goes after around 1500rpm once the engine natural starts picking up
It kinda of sounds like a blow from the exhaust but im confident it isnt as the noise dissappears completely once rpm builds from 1500 onwards
Ive unclipped the vvt solenoid as ive read from other sites to rule out the cam chain tensioner
Part of my mind thinks aux belt tensioner but im open to other common areas that may cause this
Any ideas? Its just annoying as it wasnt there before
