I took my I4 in for VVT valve rattle ('07 XLE), got suprising news!
I left my car over night so that the dealer could hear my valve rattle when it was cold. Typically it rattles for about 4 miles and then never again until the next cold start. He called me today and said that he heard exactly what I reported and it was not normal. Then the diagnosis .... BAD ALTERNATOR!
I'm 52 years old, I have built cars from the frame up, I have changed and rebuilt many an alternbator over the years, I have never heard one do this! If this is correct, and I must say that he has never done me wrong, I was real close to being stranded along the road!
