Hello. I have one problem with my passat b7. when I accelerate I hear a rattling sound(metal) only in 2100 rpm and 2800 rpm and only when accelerating. The sound can be hear near the engine, if i have open right window it hear more. Thank you.

I know video is short and hard to hear, but with max volume it hear 🥴 I'll try to do better. I also think something with the turbo, because the sound is at 2100 and 2800rpm, and I haven't been yet on connected vag.

Not sure if your car has a belt or a chain but if it's the tensioner it could mean same end result.

I have belt. But why it rattle 2100 and 2800at the exact moment. The sound goes somewhere around the front passenger, what you write may be correct and when I have the right window open it hear it very much. thought it was the catalytic converter or the turbo. anyway, I'll have the belt checked. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
