i have a 3.0 my08 wagon with 87,000km on it and it has an annoying rattle coming from what sounds like the front of the engine which can only be heard
on idle when standing outside the car.
ive just replaced the bearings in both idler and tensioner pulleys as i thought they were the culprit but the noise is still there.
ive noticed that is doesnt rattle on cold start up but once warm its pretty noisy, although im unsure if its the fact that its cold that its not rattling
or because of the extra engine rpm on cold start.
im the second owner (bought it a month ago) and it has always been dealer serviced since new
any help/thoughts appreciated
