2002.5 P5

Well I went by the dealer to process complaint #2 on cold engine rattle and checked a 2002.5 P5 on the lot. I had the salesman start it up and guess what?... It rattles too.... Of course the salesman looked at me with a suprised look and said he had never heard that before. BULLSHIT!

yeah, all pro's with the 2.0L engine make that rattling sound.

I just turn up the stereo and ignore it, some other people it really tick's them off..

I know how to fix it...

The Fix

Where do you think the fix came from. I'm was trying to point out that despite cold starting these cars all day long for test drives that nobody there ever noticed the problem....
