    Rattling noise when letting off accelerator

    Thanks Tony. The heat shields weren't the culprit but the heat shield in the back, that I had added bigger washers to, I noticed today that it had just come off and was sitting on the exhaust. Took that out. I noticed that a couple of the threads have broken off (ones holding the nuts). The...

    Rattling noise when letting off accelerator

    Took this video today, may or may not be related. May not even be a problem but just something that's bugging me. It was very windy so it may not come through clearly but there's this slight humming which occurs at regular intervals. Can be heard better when the phone is closer to the engine...

    Rattling noise when letting off accelerator

    Anyone know what this rattle means? Happens when letting off accelerator and sometimes on idle (very slightly). no idea what it is so would appreciate some guidance. Happy to upload a longer video if the noise isn’t clear in this one.

    Finally took off the intercooler...

    Thought I'd update this thread a little. First off the codes were a result of me turning the key when everything was unplugged. Once I cleared the codes and everything was plugged in, no more codes. :oops: So managed to get the intercooler off correctly (from the hose that connects to the...

    Finally took off the intercooler...

    Ah I see. Quite possible I forgot to plug something in. I'll take a look and report back after I've cleaned the EGR :) Thank you.

    Finally took off the intercooler...

    I thought I'd plug in Techstream and run a scan before I clean the EGR. I see the following codes: P0098 - Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit High P0107 - Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometer Pressure Circuit Low Input Tony, could P0107 be related to rough idling? As you were saying the...

    Finally took off the intercooler...

    Thank you Tony. I might clean the EGR tomorrow or Sunday. I did order some new gaskets from Toyota so I already have everything I need to get the job done. The only thing left is getting a silicone spray.

    Finally took off the intercooler...

    So I finally spent a couple of hours taking off the intercooler just to see what was what down there (yes, a couple of hours. I am super new to working on cars). As I remove the intercooler and put it down, I see this: Those two bolts were missing and then I look down and they were just...

    120 Brake pipe replacement

    I forgot to mention that the cost included new brake fluid as well. So it’s all inclusive. I got it done at a Kwik Fix. May get a better deal if you bought the pipes and went to a local garage.

    120 Brake pipe replacement

    I replaced 2 brake pipes some 6 months ago. Parts and labor came at around 220 pounds (in Edinburgh).

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    With my head hanging in shame, took her to the local garage. Gave them the parts and asked them to help me out. They charged me an hour for the job but were done in 15 minutes...oh well, I couldn't do it, they could, happy to pay. Best of all, no more shrieking demons!! Here's the state of the...
