davethedoor Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 Hi got a noise. coming from under the car when pulling away . Its sounds like a tin of screws , i dont think its a pinking .I got the wife to blip the throttle while i was lying under the car and its cumming from the flexi part of the exhaust and its not blowing at all . Is this commen fault with this part of the exhaust. Thanks Dave Quote
chromedome Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 Just a thought, is the engine roll restrictor bolt in tact. Just wondering if it's broken and allowing the engine to rock too much thus putting extra strain on the exhaust. Quote
katman Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 I had to have the roll restrictor bolt replaced because mine snapped and the exhaust did hit something but I also had an annoying rattle which sounded as you describe. It turned out to be a broken weld on the CAT heatshield (or thats what the garage said). Quick bit of spot welding and it was nice nd quiet again. Quote
Guest wolfie Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 Check the heat shields? the mounts rust through and allow them to vibrate like crazy! a large stainless jubille clip helps in most cases to hold them steady! Quote
