Fixed rattle
I've seen some posts on here about Vantage SS 'transmission sounds' - like a pebble rattling in a coffee can - and noticed something similar on my '10 V8V shortly after purchase.
I thought it was exhaust related based on where the sound was coming from, but then I seemed to only notice it around 4200rpm and in 3rd gear so thought maybe it was transmission related. Took it to the dealer and they found the issue was a loose heat exhaust screw that was prone to rattling with a cold engine, so thought I'd post that here for anyone with a similar situation. Screw tightened and the sound is now gone. |
Thanks for the info!
I just had a heat shield on my 4Runner fixed. The rattle was terrible. Heat shield bolts are usually the first thing I look at with an under-car rattle. I think this is the first one I've heard of on a V8V, guess that means they're going to start showing their age soon :( |
A rattle from the back of my 2005 DB9 turned out to be a broken ball & socket joint allowing the exhaust bypass valve to rattle backwards & forwards. A new joint solved the problem. I also put ceramic grease on the other joint to hopefully prevent breakage.

Many Thanxs |
Always better to revive an old thread that is relevant to your issue than to create a new thread.

Hi , Sorry to revive an old thread. but what exactly is the broken ball & socket joint ? Do you have a picture or even better a part number ?

Many Thanxs They aren't easy to change, they come as part of a whole new silencer. If they are causing a problem, the easiest fix is to find a way to hold the valves open and keep them open. Or closed, if you want to be quieter |
