Hi All,
New member and as usual joined looking for some advice. I currently have an intermittent rattle that occurs around 15 seconds after starting the car. It sounds like its coming from the front left of the engine but is proving hard to pinpoint to a specific location. From doing some google searching it sounds similar to those experiencing issues with the bypass valve found in the air duct housing. My question is that if it is indeed rattle from the bypass valve can this be ignored and not replaced without the risk of it causing any damage/coming apart?
TIA
