I have developed a engine tin rattel
every time I think I have it fixed it starts rattling in a different place
Its driving me nuts
been 40yrs. since i worked on a vw.....but is it air flutter from driving at speed or mechanical? would try wedging material where possible....taping on mtl to isolate area....or is there a flapper in the fan housing that could vibrate or thermostat unhooked? anyhow good luck hunting!
it only does it at a low idle (below 1000)
above 1000 it is better
and it does not do it all the time
It does not have the thermostat fin.
Yesterday I tracked part of it down to the cooling fan.
I removed the belt and the back seat for i would have access to the fan.
It spun around fine with nothing rubbing.
The fan is on tight
The alternator is strapped down good so I do not think its moving
All my tins seem tight
Some of the rattle is the chain I wrapped around the exhaust
It looked so cool when I warped the chain around the exhaust but it has been a pain ever since.
Will never do that again
Mine's so loud I couldn't hear it rattle anyway. :D

Maybe that's the way to go
Blow out the exhaust and make it louder for I don't hear it
or get a better stereo and turn it up loud
What all tin do you have installed?
I would also check the deflector tins between the cylinders on the bottom. They will get loose and rattle a lot of times. They just snap over the cylinder studs and can sure do that.
I had a rattle and found it to be a broken baffle in one of the headers.
