Camry :: 04 XLE Engine Rattle At First Cold Start Of The Day

Just bought a used 04 XLE Camry for daughter--60K miles. 4 cylinder engine. Engine sounded great when test drove. She has had it for 2 weeks, the engine now rattles badly upon first cold start of the day. Clears up almost immediately (maybe 3-4 seconds). Shut down and restart-no problem--only when cold (or has been sitting for more than a couple of hrs.) I'm thinking it is the valve lifters out of oil, but don't know. And what was the repair?(engine oil was just changed(Synth blend--5W-30Wt.))

Prius (Gen 1) :: Rattling Sound Coming From Passenger-engine Side At Cold Start?

Upon starting, my 2002 (160,000) has a rattling sound coming from the passenger-engine side. I just started noticing it and it seems to happen in the morning on its first start up. It doesn't seem to be effecting driving, but not sure if it was something to be concerned about.

Camry :: 02 - Smoke On Start Up - Leakage On Passenger Side Of Car Underneath The Engine

My girlfriends Camry (111K) just recently started leaking a dime size oil drip on the passenger side of the car underneath the engine. Every start up there's a decent size billow of blue/white smoke. Only thing visible under hood is the valve cover lower left size has a tiny bit of oil run down.

I read another thread similar to my issue and it sounds like valve stem seals leaking and burning? Could this be related to the leak in the driveway? What needs to be done and how serious is the billow of smoke?

Camry 2012+ :: Passenger Side Rattle At Highway Speeds (70 MPH)

Shortly after driving off the dealer lot last year with the 2014 Camry a persistent rattle would appear at 70 MPH. It sounded like it was coming from inside the passenger door.

The culprit was a loose passenger side rocker panel knocking against the undercarriage at highway speeds. A few plastic push pins securing the panel to the underside of the frame backed out.

After pushing the pins back in a small dab of RTV was applied at a few locations where the rocker panel comes in contact with the undercarriage and dab was applied to each push pin. Now, not even the heartiest of car washes will work anything loose again.

Camry :: Valve Rattle On Cold Start

I left my car over night so that the dealer could hear my valve rattle when it was cold. Typically it rattles for about 4 miles and then never again until the next cold start. He called me today and said that he heard exactly what I reported and it was not normal. Then the diagnosis .... BAD ALTERNATOR!

I'm 52 years old, I have built cars from the frame up, I have changed and rebuilt many an alternator over the years, I have never heard one do this! If this is correct, and I must say that he has never done me wrong, I was real close to being stranded along the road!

Camry :: 2005 4 Cyl - Rattle Noise Right At Start Up On Cold Mornings

I bought a 2005 Camry about 3 months ago. It has the 2.4l 4 cyl with about 139k miles. The car seems to run perfect, but it has a rattle noise right at start up on cold mornings. It only lasts for the initial 1/2 second start up, then it's gone. I'm thinking it's probably just a heat shield rattle or something, I just did a full synthetic high mileage oil change on it and that didn't work, so that just makes me lean more towards heat shield.

Camry :: TSB-0146-10 Rattle On Cold Start From Gear Connected With VVT System

This has to do with a rattle on cold startup from a gear connected with the VVT system. I have a 2010 camry that may be affected by this. It just past 60K miles so they probably will not cover it under warranty. Does the rattle get worse over time, or will it have an engine failure if it does not get fixed?

Camry :: 2011 - Rattle Noise For A Second Or So On A Cold Start When Sits Overnight

I just bought 2011 Camry 2.5 6auto with 57k miles on it. The car make a rattle noise for a second or so on a cold start when sets overnight. I took it to the dealer yesterday and they replaced the timing gear assembly under warranty. This morning when I started the car in the morning it made the same rattle noise. I am going to take it back to the dealer next week.

My question is has any one had this rattle noise? if so, did the noise go away after the dealer replaced the cam gear? Also, Do you think this rattle will affect the engine in the long term?

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 2001 - Rattle Noise From Passenger Side Of Engine

I'm wondering what is going on with my 2001 F-150's 5.4L Triton engine. Recently it's been making this noise that I can best describe as a "rattle" from the passenger side of the engine. It's not a constant rattle, it comes and goes every few seconds.

It sounds like it's either from the valve cover or timing cover, so I was thinking maybe it's the feared Cam Phaser failure, however the noise doesn't seem to match what I've heard from other videos of confirmed Cam Phaser failures.

I've attached a link to a video of the noise that I made. It also has a lifter tap from the opposite side of the engine that may be noticeable in the video. It has been present since I bought the truck two years ago, it hasn't gotten any worse and it isn't what I'm concerned about.

Camry :: 2002 XLE - Passenger Side Front Carpet Wet

2002 Camry xle, 4 cyl with moonroof.

Passenger side front under carpet is wet. I pulled the carpet back and I could squeeze quite a bit of water from the foam backing.

The water was NOT red/pink in color and no smell.

I saw the a/c drain hose. PICTURE below. It seem clear and plugged into the floor pan.

[URL] .....

I am at a loss. Is there a second a/c drain hose other than that black tube?

Some post says it could be moon roof leak. Where is the drain hose for that? My headliner etc is not wet! nor is the driver side.
