Vin is WBADW7C58DE733211.Realoem states it is a N51 engine . So When cold car has no rattle. After oil reaching 250....rattle gets worse. My friend drove with me, after 20 miles the rattle seemed to be more making left turn. We went back to house and he could not hear it in engine compartment . But I could hear it ...it seemed to becoming from transmission area...haring rattle (Car was standing and in drive)..foot on brake of course...Then I put the car in neutral and the rattle stopped.

So I don't think it is engine....when everything gets warm...(rubber bushings?) loosen and make component is rattling?

Can I adjust something?

Also for the first time, the engine seemed not to respond quickly...hesitation...then bucked and "Service engine soon" came on......

When I drove to top sign and slowed down the light went out.

Does computer store fault code even after light goes out?

Will get it read at auto[arts .....if it is stored.
