nipper Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I have a 93 leg wagon and theres another raddling under the dash i beleive when idling. ANyone else heard this? i'm going to take a giant leap of faith here and assume you mean a rattle. It's an old car, old cars get rattles. A few dozen things back there that can cause a rattle, so happy hunting (use a freind to help if it a noise made when the car i smoving). nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I would suggest you take the Nipster's advice to heart. DO NOT stick your head under the dashboard looking for anything while you are driving! I would also suggest that Nipper's estimate of a few dozen may be conservative. i'm going to take a giant leap of faith here and assume you mean a rattle. It's an old car, old cars get rattles.

keltik Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Install one or even two ultimate rattle removers. If problem persists - rotate stereo's volume knob clockwise until rattle is no longer heard. Worked wonders for my wagon. KELTIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltik Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 In no time all the loose parts will fall right off nipper I Should have added; Of course this is a good option for things such as loose wires or change rattling, if major components i.e engine or steering rack are rattling then tightening the bolt or whatever is the correct option.

brus brother Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 This I suppose would be considered the "engineering" approach. if major component i.e engine rattling then tightening the bolt or whatever is the correct option. KELTIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 OK so i put a sub in my trunk and i hear a little more raddles but maybe when i bring my car to subaru for the dash lights to be replaced, they can figure it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastwgn286 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 nah, just live with it. either crank up the tunes or rev the engine a little. as long as its under the dash its not gonna fly off and poke someone in the eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 I know but i want this car to sound like when it was new, maybe a chunk off plastic fell from hitting the dashboard so hard to get the dash lights to come on for a min. LOL. Well i had spent 7000 to make all the mechanical of the car great and now its VERY queit. No torque bind original engine a 280k still runs amazing for what it is. But maybe the screw that holds the dash is loose. I am oddd to check it out when my mom gets home lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 Its not like its a loud noise or anything but i get annoyed with things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastwgn286 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 given the time, effort, cost, beers considerations to find it and cure it, its not worth the trouble from my perspective. just let it go and maybe it will cure itself (my subaru does that all the time, for some reason...) just don't start playing "if you give a mouse a cookie" with your car. first its talking out the dash to find a slight rattle, next its a disassembly of the headliner to find a glue spot, then taking out the engine to wipe some oil off one of the mounts, etc. and soon, you will probably explode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 You know what i fixed it!! YAY it was the screw right where the dash is and the top part made it tighter, and my center consle thing had cracked screws to i glued them an all is well. And now when the sub is cracked no gassly noises. THanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
