I'm not sure if it's the cold weather or whether this is an issue getting worse.
Video here: https://youtu.be/3jSH5bjL27U 1. This only happens when the engine is cold. After 2-3 miles, I cannot hear it, even when in park. If car is warm and I turn it off/on, no noise. 2. When I put the car in reverse or drive, the sound seems to change pitch or disappear. 3. When I rev the engine in park, the volume increases Saturn Vue 2007 3.5L V6 AWD - Auto Transmission Sounds is like a rattling/clicking sounds. It's hard to put a specific word on it, but I hope the video helps. Ignore abs light (fixed now) and oil light (Oil light comes on for the first 15 seconds, oil is new and fine).

Go underneath and check the metal heat shields around the exhaust system.

I am leaning towards motor mounts, I have a similar issue and after researching related threads I have new mounts to install, just need some time.
I will post the results, just don't know when. |

Thanks for the feedback.
I am planning on changing the timing belt and water pump in a few days. I need to remove an engine mount to access the area for this job. Are there any things to look for visibly in a bad mount? I have noticed the car shudders when shifting into reverse. They are $100 a pop on rock auto (but $8.25 at the junker), so i wanted a good way to check them for both reasons! ![]()

I have been picking them up on Amazon "used", which they are not, for half price or better when they have become available. I have 3 of 4, just waiting to get the left side trans mount. I may not need all but this way it will be done complete. This place has the best price on the front (radiator) mount
https://sdparts.com/i-24089224-acdel...-15801384.html ,which is oil filled and I think where the problem may be as per my thinking the oil warms up, increasing pressure, and the noise goes away. The other mounts you can pretty much see if they are torn or worn out. The S series were notorious for worn mounts. |

Guy selling 04 on CL says his vue has been making noises for several yrs. says it seems to get louder when you drive. Maybe it needs mounts? He wants 700 for it.
I paid 400 for a similar one last yr that had bad starter. Sold it in 2 days for 1700 |
