Try opening your hood, give it some throttle and listen to the turbo. Rattling is the WG sometimes.

Default Mine sounded like that when I had a busted exhaust flex joint.
Could also be transmission related though.

Default I've got the same sound....and i don't think its the Cam Chain tensioner...
I think its an exhaust leak somewhere past the downpipe....I only get the sound every once in a while. Some days, its non-existent....its really weird. I can't locate it

Default Since your car seems to have so many problems... could be as easy as a loose heat shield...
Could also be user error.
