I have a 2006 Honda Accord LX-V6 with about 9000 miles at this point and it has developed a rattle that I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help me with.
I am planning on taking it to a dealership soon, but since you guys here seem pretty knowledgeable mechanically I figured I'd ask for some help just in case you might be able to provide an extra info I'd be able to pass along to the Honda mechanic. Usually, I get the "Nothing's wrong with your car. We can't hear the rattle" runaround at the dealership when I've gone their with my old cars.
Anyway, here's the dirt:
The rattle itself sounds like it's coming from outside the cabin, definitely some kind of metal on metal. Very light, but noticeable rattles (at a rate of a few per second) whenever I accelerate after a cold start. Once the car warms up, the rattle goes away. It happens only on acceleration and goes away when I let up on the gas. This happens at any speed and even under very light acceleration. Other than the rattle, every thing seems fine with the car.
Any ideas?
