I can only go by your assessment of the sound so my advice would be to get it to an expert/pro... MarcW - Friday, 30 March, 2012, at 2:47:45 pm |

Greetings everyone.
I have a 2002 Boxster that is about to turn 60K.
I've noticed lately an engine rattle sound for a brief moment when I star the car cold.
I'm certain it's not a cat converter rattle. This sounds like the rattle I've heard occasionally, but only when starting the car after it might have sat for a week or so.
Dashboard oil gauge shows normal.
The only other small issue I've noticed recently is a very slight squeak/whistle for a fraction of a second when I press the accelerator (even while sitting still in neutral).
Any ideas?? The rattle noise definitely makes me cringe as it's not a good sounds.
Many thanks,
-Dan
