Hi all,

From no where a small yet very damn annoying rattle has emulated from the passenger side of the dashboard.

Am I the only person that has experienced this? I have hunted all over the place.

It only ever happens when I accelerate :cry:

Think I've got a very similar problem, definitely coming from the passenger side. I thought it might be somewhere either in the passenger door or b-pillar area. Sounds like a bumble-bee trapped in there, in certain road conditions and occasionally when turning right. :confused:

I've checked underneath the car and the engine compartment, all panels, engine undertray, wheel-arch covers etc are all secure and tight. Did notice that the passenger door card is a little loose at the bottom rear corner. Might whip it off tomorrow and have a look-see.

Not just me then.

It sounds like it is either from the vent or behind the airbag... I shall go for a drive in a sec and report what the sound is like again.

I shall take a note of the rev ranges too. I will hack the car up if it carries on :lol:

mysterious rattle/buzzing

I had a similar problem:lol:, took the car out for a ride with the wife in the passenger seat.
when she took the cd's out of the door pocket to select one, the noise stopped. LOL.:lol:

I have a rattle every now and then and its the glove box door that doesn't quite sit snug.

Only very occasionally and can't hear it over music so keep forgetting about it.

It stops if I push on the glove box door.

A common issue on the 156 dash is a rattle and vibration from the long windscreen vent covers. The plastic push clips tend to wear over time and loose their grip. Some blue-tac double sided mounting pads under the vent with a hole for the push clip to go through does the trick;) It makes it a more permanent fixture, but...
Let's face it, how often are they going to be removed in the future?;)
