Rattle in my dash - Stivo

Last couple of weeks I have had a bad rattle coming from I think the centre of my dash (maybe just maybe the cd stacker). It is only audible at 2800-3200rpm and you can hear it when stationery (revving) or when driving.

Its becoming bloody annoying and I am a little wary of taking it back to Toyota for a dash rattle (I'd rather fix it myself).

Anyone had a similar problem and fixed it?

got the same problem - by pressing firmly around the CD player you can sought of reproduce the crack/ rattle/creak - call it whatever.

Just demonsrate to the dealer - with your fingers pressed around the outside of the CD player next time you take your car in and HOPE they say yeah will fix it. :angry:

Yep I have noticed pushing around the cd player helps, I was wondering if its the cd stack rattling...

Does yours rattle at exactly 2800-3200 rpm? Intermitent - does it one day and totally gone the next and so on?

Bloody rattles are darn hard to figure out hence I was hoping to fix it myself!

I drove to work this morning and rattle rattle rattle. Got one on my workmates to try and figure out where it was coming from but alas no friggen rattle at all (was pretty warm at this time - seems to rattle when its cold outside and not at all when the dash is warm). To me it sounds like the left door now (*** knows) but I will check the plastic kick panel and see what happens.

Rang toyota and they said bring it in anytime but I dont see much point in it seeing its so intermitent.

Oh well, gotta pick up the misses in a little bit and I will see what happens this time!

Thanks again for any advice:)

Blame it on the CAI. That'd be right.

Obvoiusly it can't be a temperature thing, because here in Brisbane it has been happening on my car all year round and at all temperatures. I have driven a round trip to Coollangatta (around 250 - 300km round trip) and it still happens in the closing k's to home where the car should be well and truley warmed up.

It obviously can't be CAI either, cause I don't have one.

I can tell you that there is no stereo wires loose hehind the head unit because all mine have been taped and loomed together when I fitted my sub....

I like the loose plastic screw idea the best. I might have a look at that this arvy when I get home...

Cheers

Aaron :)

Drove the car last night and rattle rattle rattle. Misses was late coming out of work and did a full check of anything loose I could find. My kick panel on the drivers side seems secure but on the passenger side (centre console) there is a panel which seemed very looose held in by plastic screws. Sort of moved it round dodgy and no rattles on the way home. Hopefully thats it:)

Doubt it will be that easy though!

      2019 Landcruiser 200 Map update Bricked System

      Hi guys, our local toyota dealership for the last 12 months have tried at least 4 times to update the navigation maps on our car. I have repeated warned them that they need to be careful which SD Card update they try to use, however, they have ignored my warnings and a month ago, they appear to have completely "bricked" the system. The maps screen is now completely blank and it says to contact toyota dealership for help. The dealership have no idea what to do now and have informed me that a warranty claim has been submitted to completely replace the map display unit. My wife is just a little ****ty right now as she has been without a functioning maps display for about 4 months in total and now this. So, given the unit is going to be replaced at some point, i have decided "what the heck, I may as well try to find an SD Card with a firmware update that can "downgrade" the ******up the dealership have caused". Does anyone know if its possible to "unbrick" this system with an older firmware update (say the original 2019 one)? Any ideas/help would be appreciated. kind regards Adam

      2005 Toyota Corolla miss fire on acceleration cant scan obd2

      If you haven't sorted the problem out yet, I would recommend looking into whether the intake manifold seals are leaking. These were very common, but it won't explain the ignition coil issue.

      Hi all, I have owned this engine for approx 30 years, it has not run in the last 15 years. needs rebuild, at the least new rings. Was last informed that the Cam was not aligned correctly after the fitting of a new timing chain and head Was originaly a stock 3K 1.2L ke20 for the first 7 years before becoming tired and worn-out. I was so happy with the engine that i spent at least 2 thou on a full rebuild including rebore to 1.3L, very lumpy billit cam, hi comp ported head double springs,fully balanced, lightend flywheel.ect ect Due to budget I could only afford a 32 Webber down draught carby (probably needs new carby kit), stock distributer and a 5 speed manual Would very much like to see it go to a new home so it can come back to life and rev hard again. Please ask any questions you may have.

      Canning Prado or 200

      Hi All Just joined - trying to decide between a Prado or 200 for the CSR next year. l'll be a single in the car in a group of 5 vehicles. Not owing. I appreciate whatever I get will need some mods. And I know I am on the Prado Club forum but I am hoping for some unbiased opinion! The Prado needs to carry less fuel which is a big advantage but what I am more concerned about is whether it is rugged enough. Any thoughts and especially experience, much appreciated! Regards to all. Chris

      2002 Door Handle Issue

      Unusual problem. Driver's side external door handle would not function with window in fully closed position. Would function with window open around 12mm. Removed door trim - visual inspection showed plastic clip at top of one of the actuating rods had become unclipped and was being hit by the metal rail on the bottom of the window glass when the window neared fully closed. Easiest solution was to apply Loctite Extreme Glue to clip and re-attach it to the rod. Fingers crossed it stays attached.
