I think it's time for a "DI" meme...since every odd sound with this car is now being associated with the DI system.
What happened to the great NVH(noise, vibration, harshness) theme car companies had going for it back in the 90's? That used to be a priority. |

I'm not very mechanically inclined and following could be wrong but: this car has lightweight flywheel and those are prone to rattle at idle. On the other hand, they usually rattle continuously, not just for few seconds.
I will take the car to dealer but I'm afraid they are not very experienced with FR-S yet. |

My 2002 WRX had that and my BRZ have it so I figured it's normal for Subaru.

My FR-S does the exact same thing. I took it in 6/19. Scion N/A calls me every 2 days but they don't have updates. Nice gesture though.

That doesn't sound like a rattle to me.
It's coming directly from the engine. I agree, sounds like DI |

Direct Injection noise = "normal" noise.
Toyota's warranty specifically says it does not cover "normal" noise. People would be wasting their time trying to get Toyota to get rid of this noise. |

I noticed very quite chatter (or rattle) coming from engine at idle and it's continuous. That sounds like what others describe as DI.
Also, there is at least 10 times louder rattling lasting just for only 2-3 seconds, under conditions described in the original post, as well as by others. I took the car to empty stretch of road for about 30 minutes and here my observations about latter: - rattling occurs practically at any speed after some (even light) acceleration. - occurs only at idle with clutch engaged (pedal depressed). - unable to reproduce while in gear or with clutch pedal in. - sounds and feels like vibration of rotating mass. Have scheduled an appointment with dealership on thursday but I doubt they will be able to come to a conclusion. Last edited by CB762; 07-24-2012 at 08:46 PM. Reason: Just |

The rattle we're describing is WAY louder than the DI clatter and you can really hear it with the windows rolled up and the stereo off while slowing down in neutral. I understand and can also hear the DI under the same circumstances, however, that sound is distant and muted. The one I hear sounds about as loud as the switch in the engine that turns the AC on and off... Thanks all. Last edited by 3essess; 07-25-2012 at 03:11 AM. |

I am going with DI or more likely a harmonic vibration somewhere. All 3 of the FR-S's I have driven do this at idle from time to time. I am guessing it is normal. Every car has a harmless quirk or two, I am sure this is one of ours. You might report it to the dealer as a concern if you are worried something is going wrong, just for documentations sake so they cannot say you ignored it.. but I am pretty darn sure you have nothing to worry about. They told me it was something they all did when I test drove it, warning me in advance, at TWO separate dealers in different states. Their mechanics noticed first and looked into it on their first PDIs.

The FSM just finished data logging my car. I was able to re-create the rattle 10 times during the log. He noticed it happens when the RPMs drop below 600. He is sending the log to SOA engineering for evaluation.

Thanks and appreciate the update man. I've been recently driving around the issue by keeping my car in gear till almost a complete stop. Nonetheless, sound came out again this morning while slowing down,and exactly as you said, rattle came out when revs dipped rolling in neutral.
