Does anyone else have a rasping / chattering / dragging noise when the throttle is not engaged and while the vehicle is moving?
It's not from the exhaust popping (I get that too) as it seems to originate from underhood. It's usually more prevalent and audible at lower speeds, not necessarily when I'm engine braking. The condition has existed since I received the Ion (with 13km) and the noise isn't really all that distracting and sounds a little like a refridgerator or drinking fountain running. It may be a noise that's associated with having stick as opposed to automatic, since it's the first time that I've owned a vehicle with a manual transmission.
Whatever the case may be, it sure doesn't detract from the Red Line driving experience!
Any help to satiate my curioisty would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
