andy james Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi guys. My brother has a low mileage auto which after a main dealer service last week has developed an intermittent top end rattle which I recon is coming from the the rear two cylinders. It seems to be worse when cool but comes back periodically. I know the 370 has vvt unlike the 350 so I'm asking has anyone else had this issue. Thanks in advance.

andy james Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Yes Chris,oil and all other fluids up to max. Just worries me a bit as it's at the back of the engine and quite loud when it does it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 need to check oil pressure with a gauge Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Unlikely to suffer low oil problems but worth checking , I have heard that the flexplates on the autos can crack and can sound a little rattly and can come and go Worth checking the cats as well as they ratlle when they start to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I would go back to the main dealer that serviced it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
