rattling, need help
Their is a rattling noise coming from around the engine bay at around 3k rpm`s, it sounds kinda like the hietshield rattling but i know its not that because i got it checked. Anyone know what it could be?

If it's on the timing belt side and happens more often as the revs drop sounds like the timing belt tensioner to me. It's pretty common on the 5th gen from what I've seen.

I was getting the same noise in the same rpm range. I thought it was the timing belt tensioner but it ended up being an exhaust leak right after the stock headers. I went turbo and now have no exhaust leaks
