She started fine. Was driving around for a while when the engine started making a loud noise. Sounds like, imagine if you will, a bunch of screws in a plastic ball being shaken around. I guess like a rattling. I took a video but can’t upload it here. Thoughts?

Hello again, I would check the water pump, and or the alternator.

Thanks, I appreciate the suggestions. I have an appointment to take her to be looked at in two weeks.

Have you looked to see if there IS a plastic ball of screws flopping around in it? (sorry....but I have seen such things)

If you have a youtube channel, upload the video there and post a link here. If you do not have a youtube account, you can email the video to me and I will post it here for others to listen to. You can click on my profile and get my email address. 🙂

A rattle as you describe could be anything from major engine damage, to a minor exhaust rattle...hard to say without actually hearing it.

Thank you, Joel. I emailed it to you. Appreciate it!
