Flexi rattle

[TB Rich]

Hi,

Anybody ever had a rattle from their flexi's?

It's just a small tinkle and only really when pulling away/walking speed gear changes. They dont show any real signs of wear so I don't think they are about to fail, but just trying to track the noise down so want to find the culprit. All other heatshields checked and adjusted for clearance, def not diffuser either it's front/side of car noise.

Cheers

Had my entire manifold replaced by Renault main dealer before they would release my 200 because the flexi was rattling. They couldn't find the exact root of the problem, there was no noticeable damage or wear to the flexi hose and the manifold itself looked pristine, but the rattling stopped as soon as they swapped the manifold and flexis.

Thanks, probably just have to live with it then if it is the flexi. Now the aircon is re-gassed I don't notice it with the windows up!
