Title: 2017 Hyundai i30 SE rattling noise over 30mph
Post by: Jlingard on January 31, 2025, 11:06:22

I’ve found a quiet rattle when over 30mph and it seems to go up with the revs. I’ve seen a good example of it on YouTube that basically perfectly matches the sound but they’ve said it’s a full engine rebuild but other comments said it could be the timing chain tensioner. Cars at about 90k miles drive very regularly and around 200 miles a day give or take.

Wondering if anyone’s had something like this before and an idea what it could be. Cars booked in for a diagnostic with the local garage on Wednesday just wanted to see if there was an idea before.
