4k Rattle!! Grrrrr!!

[Lagerlout]

What started as a little bit of a buzz from the heatshield at 4k, has turned into a full blown metallic rattle through most of the rev range. And its driving me nuts.

My question is do you think its even worth bothering trying to get Renault to fix it, or shall I just f**k it off completely and take a trip to prospeed for a decent exhaust?

It may not be the heatshield, rather the baffles inside the centre section.

ive got a wierd high pitched noise through thte rev range and it sounds like its coming from manifold sort of area....i was told it could be those springy bolt things that the de cat attaches to! is this correct? they may be fooked on yours too m8?????

Really?? I can see there is a split in the centre section. I might just get Renault to check it out. No way am I paying them a penny for a new exhaust though.

Its only done 17,000 miles. My Old astra was still on its original at 50,000!!!

Just get rid of your cat and centre section - Wont hear a thing then!!

 

[Lagerlout]

lol! Might be a bit too loud methinks!!

Ill take it to Renault and see what they say. No coubt theyll try and say the exhaust is a consumable...

all i can hear is my k-tec zuast... no rattles here!

 

[Lagerlout]

I reckon that even if they fit me new one, itll only f**k up again. Plus I wouldnt trust renault to do the work.

Could do with finding somewhere closer to me than prospeed though. Cardiffs a bit of a treck.
