Rattling Dashboard

[Malcspring]

We have just returned from a long trip and to be honest the journey home was a real mare. The dashboard on our new car rattled and buzzed all the way home. Down twisty A roads and motorway. Since we got our car 3-4 months ago it hasn't really had a chance to stretch it legs, but this recent journey gave it a real blast. In the preceding times it has been shortish journeys at slow to moderate speeds (around town) and it has buzzed and rattled, but at a vastly reduced volume, so I guess it hasn't bothered us that much. Both our old Xsara and C4 Picasso's had a buzzing from the offside interior A pillar plastic trim. Just one of those things that we grew to live with.

It was rather fortuitous today that we got a call from the salesman who sold us the car to do a 3 month courtesy call and we told him about the problem. Obviously I am going to get in touch with the service dept next week and take it back so they can take a look. I assume it is going to be very trick trying to identify where it is coming from and could result in them having to take the dashboard out.

Therefore I was wondering if there is a known problem with rattly C3 Picasso dashboards?

Thanks alot folks. :)

If a common complaint your dealer may already know what needs doing. We had a rattle on our last C4 and it turned out the fix was a tie wrap around the air inlet on the ducting for the air filter. Every service this tie wrap was replaced.

Thanks Paul. Hopefully it will be a quick and easy fix.
