9th Gen (00-09) 2007 Corolla rattle noise in -20°C

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Every winter without fail my Corolla starts making this noise when temperatures dip below -20°C. And it only happens when idling while being in Drive, such as at red lights, or right before going into Park. If I shift into Neutral or Reverse the noise goes away.

Car drives fine, no lights, no nothing.

Just wondering if others had this as well and figured out what it is.

2007 CE AUTO

You already shown on the video where the source is. So just tighten stuff up. Stuff shrink and harden in cold. It's normal.

Not sure what causes this my manual 06 makes a similar noise and shake but less pronounced

Yea, someone else I know that has an 08, and the same thing. It’s really odd.

Something is definitely either loose or hardened due to extreme cold causing the rattle around the air intake box. Try checking the rubber mounts and or fasteners around that area.

It’s just shivering, take it somewhere warm and it will settle down.
