Well, what can I say - first impressions suggest it's a million times better!!
However there's still the odd occasional squeak which could be the hanger closest to the cat, I couldn't do this as I hadn't jacked the front up, lack of time.
Definitely try the white grease (strange stuff!) as its...
I've covered both mounts in white grease, as well as both metal bars from the exhaust. Both are moving more freely, I'll update with how it sounds later when I've been out!!
I'm wondering now if it's related to the screw that's missing a head, as one of the exhaust mounts is only held on by 2 screws. The other exhaust mount was replaced last year, as was the centre one (near the cat).
Failing that, I'll take a trip to 519!
Yeh, it's getting quite embarrassing now - especially when pulling into the work car park.
Interesting you mention the exhaust mount, I replaced one on the weekend and one of the screws was missing it's head, must've sheered off somewhere in the past! Not sure how to attack that one tbh, could...
At first I thought it was something suspension/wheel related, but I've heard a small constant squeak whenever I go over a bump or rough bit of road, getting very annoying now!
It only seems to do it when the car's warmed up, and when idling I could trace the sound to the pipes in the centre of...
I was quoted £86.32 from Adam Greenhouse at Renault for a pair of these, but when speaking to Dan when I was at 519 yesterday he assured me that this was overpriced and I should be looking to pay no more than £50-60. Can someone clarify this for me? I've had a look on euro car parts and there...
Sorry in hindsight I should've taken a pic, but one of exhaust mounts is only being held in by 2 screws - the other one appears to be screwed in but no screwhead, must've sheered off in the past.
I think my exhaust mounts need replacing, what would be the best way to remove this headless screw...
Booked in with Dan @ 519 next Wednesday for a 36k service, just wondered how long it would take? Meant to ask him on the phone but my memory is useless!
I bought a replacement, think it was a 2nd hand one from Renparts, and it didn't make much difference. Getting a new one is still on my list of things to do!
