Rattle when lifting off - engine mount?



  Volvo S40
Hi all, have noticed recently if I accelerate in any gear and then lift off I get a rattling type noise coming from what sounds like the drivers side of the car at the front.

It isn't constant, only happens when lifting off at 2k revs and above. Pretty sure it isn't anything exhaust related as that's been looked at recently.

Am thinking it may be the top engine mount, anyone concur?
Thanks.

Had a decat fitted fairly recently and asked for all the heat shields to be checked out so I'm hopeful it's not that. It's hard to explain but it almost sounds 'plasticky' if that makes sense! I.e doesn't sound like metal on metal, sounds like plastic on metal.

Only other thing then that i can think of involving plastic is the wheel arch liner. Doubt that would make a loud noise though.
