Hey all, recently I've been noticing two things which may or may not be related.
1. A rattling noise when going over bumps, seeming to come from the engine bay near the front.
2. During idle, especially when in gear, there is a loud clicking that sounds like a solenoid switch followed by 1-2 seconds of rough idle before it calms down. During the rough idle the same or very similar rattling noise comes from the front.
Almost positive this is not the VIAS rattle, much more "clangy", less buzzy, and occurs at idle only.
Finally got some good videos this evening
Here's a link to the gallery

It's pretty obvious after the solenoid switches.
Also here's a new video from the inside of the rattle sound going over bumps
