    Hey guys,
    I have recently noticed that when I accelerate my Toyota Prius 2010 it makes rattle noise and vibrates the whole car. The weird "bang" "bang" noise comes from the passenger side near the engine and when the noise comes my whole car shakes like crazy!

    I went to my local car mechanic and he couldn't find anything wrong with it accept the EGR valve which I have now replaced. However, the problem still continues. When I shut down my car and then restart it its fine for some time and then the problem repeats!
    It sounds like this:


    Any suggestions as I need my car every day and this problem is bugging me a lot!
    Thanks

    that sounds more like something is hitting something. check the timing chain tension.

    no, this is the usual cold start knocking from misfire from previous unfinished warm-up cycle. The OP should do some searching or reading sticky posts before posting.
