All right, so coming home on the highway today I noticed something new. (I may have heard it on the way there too, I don't remember). Anyway, I've gotten used to the death rattle at around 1k, but now, when my car is at 3k (I don't want to risk anything higher) it has begun to rattle much worse than before, sounding like someone has thrown a handful of coins into a blender. I don't know, maybe the serpentine belt is just broken and throwing scraps of itself around inside? I haven't checked under the hood yet, I just came on inside because I had no coat and the sun had gone down.
Anyway I took a video of it, you may have to turn it up but I can hear it clear enough, is it time to start worrying yet or is this just another stage of the death rattle process?
