I hate to drive my 3yr old Esteem (60kkm) without music because of all the strange faint noises it makes !
I have managed to fix various rattles by stuffing tissue paper between the edges of fibre panels, jamming a block of thermocol between my audio system and the top of bay in which it is mounted etc. ... fixing 'em aint tough, but finding the offending part is the killer!
Apart from the usual "something-under-the-dashboard" rattles that appear only at certain engine rpm (and disappear just before u can pinpoint where!), I have noticed an odd creaking noise while the car is shuddering, if I let go of the clutch too quickly... sounds like somebody shaking an old wrought iron bed! I suspected that it was something to do with the suspension or mountings near the front driver's side wheel and have asked the Maruti guys to check it out a number of times, but they all report that the suspension is fine and there is nothing amiss! Still, when I re-create the sound for them, they can't explain what's causing it, leave alone fix it!
Anybody else facing a similar problem?
