Hi All, over a period of a few months, my car has developed a metalic rattle at mid to high rpm. I thought it was a bracket or something rattling but am wondering if it could be the turbo which has 227,000 kms on it.

You can hear the rattle on the video below at about 4000 rpm. Any ideas?

By the way the car is as SF Forester which I've owned for 10 years.

Thought a common problem was loose heat shields.
Had a look at them at all?

Something is causing metal on metal. Hopefully a heat shield and not a turbo impeller!

Go see STechnic and have them diagnose it, as without seeing the car it will be difficult to confirm via the intertubes.
