Rattling Is Coming Back in Pillars, Cant Find Source
#21
Sorry for the delayed response.
No. It is still not fixed. It has gotten worse. The whole car rattles, squeaks, creaks... And quite frankly, I hate my car right now. I feel like I bought a Kia. Every bump. Every turn. Every pot hole. When I drive up the ramp to my parking spot, it sounds like the car is going to fall apart.
I am seriously thinking about eating rid of it. Two vehicles, same damn issues on both. My main screen continues to black out. My BT won't sync. I mean, take your pick.
If there really is a recall for the roof, I am curious to see the bulletin as I want to drop my car off for a month and let them try one more time to fix it before I drive it into a river - that's how pissed this makes me.

I've got the rattle too
Hi everyone. Hope people see this old thread. I have a 2004 XJ8 with 67400 miles on it. For the last 500 miles or so, I too have experienced a maddening creaking or rattling sound (one rattle though, it's always one knock or rattle at a time), usually when accelerating while at a slow speed or driving slowly over uneven road surfaces. For example, when driving into my garage yesterday from the alley in back of my house, the rattle/creaking occurred three or four times in the space of about two seconds. I took a look at that service bulletin mentioned earlier in this thread (jtb00002) but it specifies that the noise tends to come from the front or front left of the vehicles in question. But the noise in my car sounds like it's coming from the starboard B pillar area or even from inside the starboard rear door. Incredibly annoying. I think everyone here has a newer XJ than mine. Any guesses as to the cause?

OK, fair enough. Main reason for the creaks and groans on the X351, (current model XJ) was the sunshine roof installation. Its a complex assembly and clearly not well designed at all at least the early ones. Here in England the editor of the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club had to have the whole sunshine roof module replaced to cure the noise ! As for my car, and X350s in general, I have seen very few posts on creaking noises, it's not a problem generally, although obviously something is wrong in your car. Have you posted in the X350 forum yet ?

Good, see you there. I think yours will be the first post re creaking noises ! When something like this starts, I always try to think back about what has happened with the car in the recent past.

Bump to this thread, if your still on this forum could you tell me where you sprayed the wd40?
Has any-one else had any success in sorting out the sunroof rattle on their X351?
