Hi when i do speeds about 50 mph and above there is a rattling noise coming from the front of car sound like if it's coming from the engine bay it only happens when i press the accelerator pedal to gain speed but when i ease of the pedal the noise is not there i remember when i looked through the owners manual i read something about the regeneration process of the dpf filter that there can be a clicking metallic sounds at low speeds or engine idle so i don't know if that is normal or there is a problem i just bought the car two weeks ago
