As the title says i have a rattling noise when i set off in 1/2nd gear seems to be when the cars traveling slow (cant hear it at higher speeds) or when at a stand still revving.
It sounds like its coming from under the car near the rear so im guessing its something to do with the exhaust

just wondered if this is normal for this car as if not ill do a bit more digging

btw my car is the ibiza 1.2TSI FR

Not on my 1.2 TSI.
You could try grabbing the exhaust (when cold!!) and giving it a shake.

Rattles are always a pain to find ......

I'll bet one of the exhaust brackets is loose, or or maybe the heatshield at the back box has come undone. If it's the latter, a beer bottle top with a hole punched in the middle makes a perfect replacement washer to reattach it!

Had a quick look and shaking it doesn't make any noise, and thanks for the info Arkaig I'll get under it tomorrow to take a look
