How to fix a rattling sound in my Audi 80?

I've been noticing a strange rattling sound coming from my Audi 80 lately. It seems to be coming from the engine, but I'm not sure what the cause could be. How do I fix this issue?

It's possible that the rattling sound is due to a loose exhaust heat shield. This is a common issue in Audi 80s and can be easily fixed by tightening or replacing the heat shield.

Another potential cause of the rattling sound could be a failing bearing in the alternator. This can be quite loud and could require a professional to replace.

Did you recently get new tires for your Audi 80? If so, it's possible that they were not properly balanced, causing the rattling sound. Make sure to get your tires checked by a mechanic to ensure they are balanced correctly.
