Rattle/buzz at 1500/1550 revs
When driving I get a rattle/ buzz as the engine hits 1500/1550 revs. It only happens under load and not on the way down the numbers. This leads me to believe it’s not a rotating piece that is rattling because it would do it as the revs drop. I can find only one thing loose that being the rod on the turbo actuator. I have bent and prodded at exhaust and turbo heat shields and been through most stuff on the outside of the engine. The other only thing I feel it could be is inside the exhaust as the truck had a new head a while back and something may have been dropped in.
Should the actuator rod be slack
Has anybody else experienced this sort of rattle

What engine?

To be honest though, it could be anything and will be difficult to track down by just pushing and prodding. Can you get somebody to rev the engine whilst you stand in front with the bonnet open? Darren

I’ve done that but it only does it under load. I’m looking at setting the go pro up pointing at various parts and driving with the bonnet off to see I’ve ican get closer to the source
The post was more to see if anybody else had a similar rattle

My guess is this too. ^^^^

Also check the red lifting eye on the back of the engine that it isn't loose. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Mine does it too.. does yours stop if you take a sharp yank left or right at the steering wheel, while accelerating?

No rear engine lifting eye on mine, so can’t be that. I was thinking it could be injection timing.

Oddly though, when the engine is cold it still does it, but rises in pitch at the same time. Very odd.

I’ve checked bolts holding turbo heat shield and have tried bending it up and driving bending it down and driving bending it left bending it right.

This is off a transit but my actuator rod moves like this. Not quite as bad but a potential candidate for the rattle.

Dobby mine doesn’t change with steering I don’t think but I’ll give it a go today.

Next move is to remove heat shield and try that.

I could be imagining it, but I’m sure the noise went away as I was accelerating up a hill the other day, and had to ‘avoid’ something.
