Hello Cartalkers, what could be the cause of rattling noise when accelerating on Toyota Rav4?

My "check engine light" also comes up after sometime.

there are certains things that one can not diagnose via internet, your car need a physical inspection being on ramps or driving it figuring where the sound is coming from

check engine it needs to be scanned

I experienced this on my Toyota corolla but the rattling noise stopped after I changed my gear fluid..Please put the recommended fluid if you are doing that.

2000 RAV 4. Rattling when accelerating on the hood (probably transmission/engine area). Pls note that the fluids don't leak and guaged.

Check your power steering pump and fan belt if working perfectly meet a mechanic

Fan belt is OK.
PSP (steering pump) is what I will check but I doubt it is the culprit.

If fault code is related to crankshaft/camshaft correlation, inspect timing chain for stretch/jumped tooth. I advice that you should not drive the car in this condition.
Regards.

Hello

If I may ask, when did you noticed??
Did you take to any mechanic or panel prior to this time??

If you checked engine oil and gear oil and they are both good, and also its not your belt..

Then its most likely your catalyst converter has been recently removed..

I had similar noise when I press down the acceleration pedal, the noise is soo annoying that when I accelerate slowly it becomes so loud and very noticeable but when on top speed it doesn't make the rattling noise..


I had changed belt, oil, shafts not until a mech said he's sure its the catalyst converter..


So I bought another then I discovered that my cat. Has been missing all along oo.. Well we placed the new cat. And the noise stopped.

Check yours bro, that was why I asked if you were at any panels or mechanic worship before the noise started.. If yes, most likely they may have removed ur car cat.

It's called pinging. A lot of things can cause it.
