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?

do a search on gear selector cables :)

Thanks, would that effect the 05 stivos?

I might give toyota a call and see if I get someone who cares ;)

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 thought it was my dash originally. Was the HEV gear selector cables as stated before. They make an annoying sound. Very annoying lol.

YES!!! And I have had my selector cables done. This is a totally different rattle and everything. I can not wait until someone finds it....

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

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!

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
