Hi guys,
My 200 has now done a few miles so I've started to venture up the RPM's a bit... tonight was the first time I got over 6,000rpm and I noticed there is a loud vibration/metallic rattle coming from bulkhead/engine bay area on the drivers side? it sound similar to this problem:

Is this a well known problem?? I will have a look at the engine mount tomorrow, but what exactly am I looking for on it?
Also, when letting off the accelerator pedal at 6,000rpm or above there is a more worrying sound like something is rubbing for a brief second? sounds like the wheel is catching the arch...but obviously its not (but its that sort of noise) and it's coming from the same area as the vibration.
I really hope I don't regret buying a Renault! lol. Any help would be great lads,
Cheers, Edd :headphone::thumbsup:
