Hello gents,
It's a 2009 Quattroporte Sport GT S with 5000 miles on it, had it checked at 3500 miles, everything was great. After getting accustomed to it after 2 months of driving, I'm hearing some noises that I didn't notice when I bought it.
1. Back doors curtains make some rattling noise when going over rough terrain, if I roll them down the sound goes away. Any ideas on how to make the rattling go away ?
2. At first start, after a few seconds of nice powerful growl, i hear a slight metallic sound at the back of the car which accompanies the growl which makes me think that the exhaust pipe is vibrating against something.
3. Sometimes in weird roads, eg. hard right turn with a weird inclination change at average speed, i guess the chassis bends or something, and I hear 1 clank noise either back right, or back left depending on the turn. I have yet to find out what's making that noise. Any clues on what it could be?
4. When taking off at average speed, i hear a clank noise, the same when I break. The sound leads me to believe that it happens when the gearbox changes from 1st to 2nd, or when it's downshifting to 1st gear. But I'm just guessing I can't really identify the position of the sound, somewhere on the front side of the car ? I was under the impression that the gearbox is at the back . If I accelerate very gently then there is no sound, the same for when breaking very gently. The sound is present in both Sport and Non-sport mode.
When going over rough terrain or potholes there are no sounds (except back curtains rattling) also when hard breaking to a stand still, no sounds, the sound can be heard before let's say the car halts to a stand still
The car seems to be pretty well maintained by previous owner, and also has very low mileage.
The only modification to the car, is the upgrade to the wider front mud guards.
Any information would be helpful as I don't want to seem paranoid and bother the nice engineers.
Thank you and looking forward to your help.
