Somebody help me!
A while back I wrote about a loud rattling noise coming from inside, sounding like something loose flapping around, that comes and goes. Described as the "bag of nails" noise.
Well, last week it came back along with a really gruff noise from the engine, sounded terrible. This time it lasted all night and into the next day when I took to Guildford Audi. They were great, took it in straight away after the mechanic got it in, heard the gruff noise and sounded quite alarmed!
He said he plugged it in, let several others look then it just stopped! None of them had a clue what it maight be and no faults were found. They had the car for about an hour, so I know they did have a good look.
So I turn to my trusted and hugely knowledable forum friends! Any ideas? Can't pinpoint the noise but it could be drivers side about steering wheel level, rattling pretty much contant when moving, gruffness worse when engine working, pulling away, etc. Car runs fine, no noticable loss of power. Starts when engine is hot. Really loud in cabin, not so loud from outside. Then rattle and noise will just stop and that is it for up to a month!
Any suggestions gratefully received!
