Default Rattling....

I keep hearing a little rattling noise from the passenger side of the car. It doesn't sound like a metal-on-metalrattling noise, more of a"playing cards rattlingbike spokes" noise.

It only happens when the engine is cold, and roughly around 1100-1400rpms. Does anyone know what that could possibly be?

Thanks.

do you have an aftermarket exhaust? I run Borla pipes and every now and then I experience a little vibration from the passenger side at around 2000 rpm's

go under the car and hit the cats a few times see if that makes the noise it could be the hive in the cats or the heat shield. i had the same prob, it= broken cats for me it wasnt to bad because after the car heated up it stoped. do you have any cel. hope you find the prob.

I had the same thing in my old jetta, and it turned out that the welds on the exhaust were loose.
