Something rolling in the dash

[benzonline]

Hey guys. Long time didnt post as the 202 has been great and still is!!

However a few days ago I noticed a noise like a screw rolling inside somewhere when ever I turn left or right. Its coming from inside the dash somewhere (from what I can hear). I removed everything out of the glove compartment and trays and stil nothing.

Anyone have this issue or did something break inside my dash?

i think i've got the same issue a while ago but then a week later it probably rolled out so i didn't hear anything from that point on.
i thought mine was coming from the steering column.

[benzonline]

Yes thats where I hear it coming from...somewhere there or close to the instrument cluster.

At one point when I touched the dash I felt it rolling.

whenever that happens to me - I just slam the dash board with my fist and whaever is loose just falls out LoL ... try it, but dont break anything! :D

that's the key point there.

[benzonline]

No I dont think I'll be hitting anything!

[Abuimad]

it will fall out sooner or later
but were in teh dash is it exactly ?

[benzonline]

How or where will it come out I dont know. It sounds eitheir from under the gauge cluster or on top of the center vents inside.

that will work! LMAO :D :D :D

flip ur car over several times that will get it out

seriously though i doubt there is a way to get it out, so i say just be patient and hope it drops out sooner more than later

yup, that little piece may be put, but then u might end up with something significantly bigger that's noisy and useless...

i agree with abuimad. just wait for a while, it will drop.

this make me remember when I dismounted the internal carpet in the passenger foot area: due to a free screw that was rolling between the carpet and the car metal frame:eek:
I've dismounted half car!

really annoing me!

good luck:)

I dont drive the car much.....3 times a week.

I will see in a few days how it is...however when the stereo is on it cant be heard.

thats logical, bose sound system and a trance addict, im suprised you heard the rolling noise from the begining :D

[mbLova]

That noise must be annoying.

Pull a Chuck Norris
:)

[rollinrealbig]

yea the radio always helps getting rid of any noise - I had my exhaust off for about 3 days and of coarse I have to drive my car so just turn up the music and who cares about the fact that everyone at the stop light is giving me the finger LMAO thats their problem!!! :D :D :D

try going up and down over curbs!

so far that's the most logical suggestion i have heard. of course, if u've got a low clearance, ignore what i just said.

That would do anything guys. I drive this car like there is a glass of water on the dash.

lool

i drive the car like im racing in nascar, or the police are on my tale

[benzonline]

My freind has a 94 C220 W202. Where its parked on his driveway, there is a set of more then a dozen skid tire burnouts from the car....gives you an idea of how he drives it.

All I can say is the car has 160 000kms and it drives now like it has a million....in other words crap.

[Abuimad]

the car is there for you to enjoy, if you dont "occasionaly" drive it hard then whats the point

[benzonline]

I push it here and there...doesnt mean when driving it nicely Im not enjoying it.

I get the most enjoyment from the car with my favourite songs playing through the wonderful BOSE.
