the only way is to remove it. it has four ports that are seperated by four pieces of steel.these become loose and rattle under acceleration

It sounds to me like your water pump is wearing down. The pump is down the left hand side of the engine. Get someone to rev the engine and listen on that side. Let us know how u get on
