182 Exhaust Shield bolt.

[Jord 182]

Hi all,

i have a Ktec racing 182 Exhaust on the clio and i have noticed a massive rattle. it turns out it is the right hand side (as you look under the car) of the exhaust shield under the boot that is flapping. do you know the size of the bolt that needs to go in there?

many thanks.
Jordan.

The heat shield rots around the nuts that hold it up. You need to undo the nut and get a big washer under the nut to hold the heat shield up again.

Nice and easy as JRS182 has said above. There is a guide here, should you need it...just make sure it has bigger washers than its currently using.

Thanks,

the issue i have is the bolt is missing all together. i believe it may have been removed when i had my exhaust change. i know i can go back to the garage but i wondered if anyone knew the size of the bolt ie M6 so i can just replace it myself.

many thanks in advance.

It could be the nut, or it could be that the heatshield has worn through the old bolt (usually the case) so there is a hole (the size of the washer) showing. You use the current bolts, but a bigger washer. I did it on mine a couple of months ago now.
