Scrape-Mobile to the rescue!!
Hey all,
The best way I can describe this noise, actually.. what it EXACTLY sounds like...
is if you took an empty coffee can, and swirled a fork around the inside of it.. making a scraping noise.
seems to happen really at anytime, MIGHT go away when I accellerate.. but that might just because the sound is muffled from the Engine. Im not sure.
Any ideas? its starting to drive me nuts.

but that would have made my life much easier.

If you have a 6 speed, and when you start off from a stop and hear "marbles in a tin can"... well, that is normal. It is even mentioned in the C5 owner's video.
