Start by trying to pintpoint where the sound comes from and the nature of the sound. Rattle can mean many things - can you describe it more accurately? Is it only sound or also physical vibrations associated with it? try to pay close attention to where the sound might come from - perhaps with someone in the back seat as well to listen. Does the sound come on any other times? Perhaps under load/uphill?


Good luck - report back when you have more info, maybe we can help you out.

My 96 740 sometimes makes a rattling noise on acceleration, usually when taking off from a stop or slow coasting position. The car runs fine, dealer wants me to allow them 3 hours to try and diagnose the problem. Car has 85k miles, is anyone else experiencing this problem, any solutions or ideas?

Thanks,

Dan
