- VE SV6 Ute
I’ve recently started getting an unusual noise in my MY10 SV6 manual ute. It happens mainly as I reach high revs, about 3k+, and is most obvious when letting off the throttle. Upshifting stops the noise once you release the clutch and the revs drop. If you let off the throttle without shifting the noise mostly stops after 1-2 seconds even if the revs are still high.
The noise sounds like a metallic vibration or a rattle. The best way I could describe it is the sound of a fan hitting a heat shield, but I don’t think that’s actually what it is. I don’t know what it is but it isn’t causing any faults and doesn’t seem to affect performance or anything when it starts. Any ideas?
Edit: I’ll take back what I said about performance. Under hard acceleration I get flat spots in the power curve and I’m getting noticeably worse fuel economy.
