Ok, I've searched as much as I could for posts on rattles, but most seem to be talking about window rattle and such... I have a fairly quiet rattle which is audible only at idle. It sounds like it's coming from the front of the car, and it's almost like an engine rattle. The car vibrates a little, but I'm not sure if it's because the engine is on or because the rattle is part of the problem.
I took the car in for the 7.5K service and the techs said that they heard it but don't know what it is and will have to take the car for a day or two to figure it out.
So, my question is - does anyone know what the rattle is? Is it normal workings of the engine? Is it because the AC is always on? (btw, I could hear it when I turned off the fan, so I don't think it's that). Could it be something innocuous or should I really get it looked at?
Frankly, I'm just worried that because I'm a woman, they'll poke around for two days, "invent" some problem, charge me an arm and a leg for it and it won't make a difference.
Any help you can provide is much appreciated!
