Hi All,
Posting this to see if anyone else has had this issue. On medium acceleration, in 2/3 gear in the 1000-2000 rpm range, there is a rattle noise that sounds like it is coming from behind the engine (potentially the transmission). Only posting this thread to see if anyone has heard this coming from their transmission, or is it a clamp on the exhaust I have that might have come a bit loose near the cat (I have an aftermarket exhaust (X-Force Varex) that was installed about 6-7 months ago).
Let me know any thoughts - will be getting the car placed up on a hoist on Monday to have a look, but wondering if I should take straight to Kia first. Did road trip the car recently for 2000km, noticed it when I got home.
Thanks all.
EDIT: Took the car for a drive alongside a wall on both sides of the vehicle (1 lane) - noise definitely coming from passenger side area, seems to be when there is considerable pressure being pushed through the exhaust - has anyone else had this? For example, if in first gear stopped, and quickly blimp the accelerator, the rattle will occur when pressure sounds like its at its peak. If I keep the car locked in 2/3 gear low rpm and accelerate the rattle will occur while under throttle.
