    the rattle only lasts for about 2 seconds or less and the motor has to be cold or atleast not been run for about 20 mins or so. SO, it is going to be a task for you to check on that.
    I could be wrong but Gen2 never had that issue. it was only the Gen1. For Gen2 the VVT actuator changed (as in stronger) from what i know but i could be wrong.

    I wouldn't be too worried. If you're buying a 2010 it should be under warranty still, so if it does become a problem it can go back to the dealer.

    These two threads probably would've answered all of your questions; http://www.ozmpsclub.com/forum/tech-...d-vehicle.html and http://www.ozmpsclub.com/forum/tech-...nty-fixes.html
