The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
A rattle or buzz noise may be heard from the engine compartment. The noise will be heard off idle and diagnostics may lead to a noise coming from the turbo area. Vehicles built between 1/3/06 and 1/13/06 may have a turbo heat shield weld broken.
If diagnostics have led to a turbo heat shield rattle noise, replace only the turbo heat shield for repair.
