Coming back to this with an update - took the car to the dealer last week . They will not fix/warranty my cable reel as they said it was due to the aftermarket steering wheel installed . Although I don’t see how that could have caused the issue at all as the cable reel is behind it all .
The...
I went to the dealer for the recall and to fix my rattle , they said bc the manager was not in they wouldn’t look at the rattle but would do the warranty . I walked away and said call me when the manager is in and I’ll do both at once . Waste of time . Now I’m starting to get a small creaking...
I had a C6 Manual Corvette and the only thing I can say I miss compared to the Type S was the straight line speed and sound of the vehicle. I like everything else better with the Type S minus the rattles.
Only the glove box area so far with no luck . I was going to remove the other pieces circled but I don’t hear the rattle in that area. It sounds like it’s coming from the far right side of dash closest to the windshield and there is no way to access that area removing those . I think I just may...
Thanks , do you by any chance know what the circled image is . I cannot find it in that pdf link and would like to find out before I rip things apart .
I’ll try but it seems like it may be really hard as it’s tight to get in there and at an angle . I’d almost need to be a surgeon to perform something like this . If only I could easily get a bit of access to that area .
So I’m sure many have you seen my previous post regarding me being plagued with a rattle . I have been trying to figure it out every weekend with no luck taking various things apart . A glimpse of hope possibly was spotted today but I have no clue how to get to it . Upon taking off the a pillar...
I have to test heat from ac but it’s not the wastegate . It’s like a loose screw or clip vibrating against something , thats what I am thinking at least . I have heard the wastegate rattle before . This is louder .
Reporting back after trying the sound test yesterday , no luck . It didn’t produce my rattle/buzz . It’s weird bc this seems to be coming from the front right of the dash someplace , could be someplace under it also and resonating and it’s temperature dependent. Only happens under like 50...
I had someone take a ride and we couldn’t exactly pin point the exact location it was coming from but I plan to try again . Hoping the next time we figure it out .
I don’t have a mic like that but can assure you it’s not the wastegate also . It’s something loose or resonating , I can hear that actual tapping of something hitting against something . I’ll try for a better video when possible .
The video doesn’t do it justice but it’s sort of both . Something is definitely loose someplace as it happens on throttle and off when going in the higher rev range . It also appears to happen more when it’s colder outside but I believe now that it’s warming up I still hear it .
So no luck today . I tore the door card off . Took the speaker grill off to check and reinforced it . Checked every screw or loose part on door and door card , even all the clips and door handle . Drove with the door off and on . The rattle/buzz was still present coming some place from the front...
