Rattling Sound

[TerryAdams]

Does anyone know what this annoying rattle is ?

It mainly does it when in reverse when I lift off the clutch, sometimes in first gear but never when I'm driving around.


Yaris MK2 2008

Thanks

Unfortunately I haven’t a clue but it sounds pretty bad.

Have you taken it to a mechanic?

I will be going to the mechanic soon yes as I need to replace the rear coil springs. So I'll ask them when I'm there
Could it be the heat shield underneath ? As it does look a bit loose

Definitely does not sound like a heat shield!

OK. If it was the heat shield it would do it whilst driving right ?

[bronsin]

A loose heat shield does in fact rattle while driving. But your noise is much more serious than a heat shield.

You need to consult a mechanic!

OK thanks. I'm booked in for next week.
Any speculation on what it could be? It only happens when in reverse and the clutch is up.

I found a thread on it here. Apparently it's the type of exhaust system the yaris has ..

Mechanic said it was a rubber exhaust mount needed lubrication. Now it's fine
