Toyota prado 2018 Rattling noise?

[Don W]

My Prado has exactly the same rattling noise as the attached video. But not that worse. It pops up sometimes. Can't figure out what it is.

Yep, we have a 2018 model and it makes the same noise. We had a 2013 model prior to that and it too made the same noise. Has anyone figured out the problem yet?

I to have exactly the same rattle MY18. Occurs at around 2000rpm, but doesn’t occur in the garage when not under load. Need to stick it on a rolling road as it Is getting worse

Are you able to tell us from which general area the noise is coming from ?

It's very hard to determine just by watching a video.

Have you had a dealer check it out or enquire about it to them ?

Sounds like a common issue.

Hi all I have a 2018 Prado making the same noise and we believe it is coming from the fire wall area 

We took it to a mechanic and he put zip ties on our tyre well guard which made not one bit of difference 

Would love to know how to fix it as it is getting really bad and is louder than the one in the video

Has anyone had any success with figuring out what the rattle is

Hi Don,

I have a 2016 Prado which has the same metallic vibration. Has anyone got a solution to the problem, it is very annoying??

Cheers Warren

To update to my previous post concerned my 2016 Prado having the same vibration, I have managed to have the problem fixed through a Toyota Service Centre.

The problem was a worn cool air inlet, Part Item Code 1797130012 costing $86.23, which was replaced and there is no more vibration or rattle.

Hope this might help someone solve their problem.

Cheers Warren
