I’ve noticed quite a bit of rattling whilst using LIFT - but it only occurs when there’s additional people in the car i.e. when its just myself, there’s no rattling, but as soon as you add another person (say 70kg+) a rattle develops in LIFT and becomes more and more prominent.

I took it in to Toyota for its 50k service and the mechanic said if the car requires it clutch adjustment they will do it, when I got the car back the mechanic said they clutch did not need adjusting.

Does any one know what else could be causing the rattling – possibly something to do with suspension??

I dont think its coming from the engine bay - seems to me like its either coming from gearbox or behind dash area???

What sort of fuel are you using?

The rattling sound could possibly be the engine knocking under load (pinging).

Try using a cable tie around your gear selector cables, this fixed mine.

Tie the cable where they come out of your firewall (Enigne side), (2 silver foil lookin tubes), tie these together with a single tie and you are done, no noise from gear cables :)

hope this helps

I got the same thing, I pulled half my dash apart trying to find, but sonds like its coming from the airvents or something around the passenger side. Its really anoying when in lift.

But yeah I dont think its the gear cables if its from the passenger side then.

i tightened that kik panel with the plastic screw where the left foot would be and that seems to stop the noise, but it always come back.I think it gets loose as i drive but not really sure see how you go

Could also be your 6 cd disc changer, i think that is what mine is, and they gear selector noise will come in 6k plus, but the radio/air vent rattle comes in round 3k roughly. very hard to pinpoint where the noise is because the noise bounces of everything in the car :S

Yes there is the fix to the rattle, as noted in various and numerous other threads if you search.

Gengo is half right, its the front passenger side kick panel on the right foot, the plastic screws that hold it in place requires attention.

sounds like your car might be 'pinging' or detonating under labour.

If its coming from the engine, then you might be pinging as everyone has mentioned already. Could be unlucky and hit a really ugly batch of fuel...its happened...this is from experience.

One way to test out rattles is to get a 15" sub and run some low tunes through it...you'll be able to pinpoint your rattles in no time... :blink:

Time to get some sound deadening!!

Could you perhaps describe the rattle to us?

High pitched, metallic, muffled etc...

it sounds more like a buzzing, like a piece of metal touching a moving part creating this rattling/ buzzing sounds.

Sorry if that doesn’t help much - its quite hard to describe, im going try get a friend to record the sound when im hitting lift and ill post the sound up here (if i can work out how to do that lol)

I think thats a problem that plague quite a lot of sportivos, if its still under warranty get it fixed by the dealer. NEVER TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.

Try reading through this thread.

      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.
