start up rattle
Hi, I have a 06 four door accent .Automatic . My wife loves her little car. It has 52k and runs well. It get terrible mileage but she loves it. The sway bar links are bad so it clicks over every bump.
Now it has started to do a rapid, tight rattle for a second upon startup. Not every time, but its getting more regular. I have read about the tensioner on the timing belt, its seems too early for a replacement.
I have googled and read a lot but as yet have not heard anyone having this rattle. I just changed the oil and filter and no change. I tried it without the a/c on and it still does it.
it sounds like its coming from the drivers side down low...always the same sound....short and quick, like a oil pump up rattle.
I have a few cars, she loves this one. Any ideas

accent rattle
I have changed the oil, looked for loose things. I have not taken it to a dealer as they want money to look at it. It just does it on occasion....cold starts or warm.
when i get to the dealership i will post what it is.....
