    noise that bothers me

    For the last couple of ekks I noticed some weird noise. I can hear it only on idle . It's coming from somewhere below header ( It seems like to me ) It's not permanent , it might not be for couple of days, and then comes again. Didn't hear it on the cold engine, only when it's running for a while . Car shakes on idle a bit more then usual, but it's hard to compare. didn't feel any loss of power.
    To discribe noise , hm, dhat's the hardest part. Probably it sound like a disel engine
    any idea ?

    Uh. . . check the heat shields on the exhaust? Check for loose exhaust? Tranny? Check for loose screws/nuts/bolts stuff like that?

      I would definately check all those heat shields down there. I already removed some of mine, only because the bolts rusted away, and some shields began rattling.

          it could be the tranny. . . does temperature have any affect on the noise, or does it seem random?

            It's random, I haven't figure when it happen exactly. It's only at iddle, and when engine is hot RPM sits higher then normal and it's not there. Didn't make this noise today at all. It looks like some gost live there
