Engine rattle at startup mystery solved!
Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 11:10 pm
I been bleating on for a while now about a slight rattle which coincides with the oil light going out when the engine is warm.
The rattle only lasted 4 seconds but it really annoyed the t*ts of me!
Found out by accident today when I turned the steering wheel during the 4 seconds that the rattle disappeared - it's the power steering pump relief valve chattering!
weird that it coincide with the oil light but I tried it several times but the noise disappears immediately the steering wheel is turned a smidging
