182 exhaust rattle??

[PPTom]

For the first 30 secs or so after a cold start, my std exhaust vibrates / rattles and the power delivery seems a bit eratic / muted. I've got no cat so I'm guessing its the middle silencer baffles, just wondered if anyone had a similar problem. I don't really want to take it to the dealers, although its under warranty it took them seven goes to fix my leaking headlight washers! and when warm there are no problems, which would mean leaving it overnight at the dodgy dealers, not an option!!
Any advice??

If you have no cat then your warrenty will be void.. wont it?

I have exactly the same problem, gonna let local garage have a look whilst put new brake pads on. Hopefully it's nothing serious, but for some reason it isn't as bad when i leave the AC off for 2/3 mins...

I can soon stick it back on if I take the car in.

the clamp around the exhaust at the CAT will need to be tightened or replaced.
i have the same problem

Thing is I actually don't mind the standard exhaust! I'm not keen on overlarge tailpipes and loud noise, but I realise that the std exhaust isn't going to last forever and I will one day have to replace it. Just not convinvced on those already out there (BTB / Yoz / etc). Looking forward to the new Ktec / AWT (mild steel) options but time may be running out!!

I had this with the middle part of my exhaust, exact same symtoms and i had to have it replaced, renault where the cheapest suprisingly.

I also have a leaky headlight washer too, have to fill my water like every week, annoying.

I'll check the clamp in the morning, was only about 4 weeks ago I took it off and resealed the joint + put it back on pretty tight, the joints not been blowing.
