a annoying rattle coming from underneath the 182

[marcushookdale]

when driving the clio i can hear a rattling noise coming from underneath off the 182,
it sounds like a exhaust bracket loose and starts vibrating on the exhaust system,
but its not , well not than i can see anyway,iv had the clio on axel stands 3 times

Iv checked all the brackets on my exhaust and there tight,all the heat shields seem
to be tight and sound, iv been tapping everthing with a metal bar to see if i can come across it, but no

anyone got any ideads , iv even had the wheels off as well, when the clio was on the axel stands,

cheers guys,

m.

I have the same problem, around 3.5rpm. Does my fcuking nut in!

 

[marcushookdale]

when it was on the stands i started the 182 , and built the rev's up to see if it would start doing it, ''

''but did it do it '' did it fook, typical

 

[marcushookdale]

think im gonna try and strap mi mate under the car , and tell him to ring me up when he knows were its coming from, .

the manifold to decat gasket will be worn out so not putting the springs under enough tension

 

[marcushookdale]

danny whats the price of a new gasket mate any idea, i'll go to renault for this in the morning,

think i'll order my self a new exhaust fitting kit to , ie new springs/nuts/bolts.

thanks danny,

 

[marcushookdale]

thanks danny,

It all comes as a kit anyway,about £25.

 

[sideways danny]

I normally do a kit for £30 including p&p

 

[Fred@BTM]

^£22.55+vat from a main dealer dude

I started getting this on Saturday

Heatshield by the manifold seems very loose when reaching down there, how many bolts should be in it?

 

[sideways danny]

^£22.55+vat from a main dealer dude

so over £30 once you've put P&P on.......

I got my gasket and spring kit for £20.32 all in! yesterday under trade discount and that's free delivery to my work, if you have a mate in the trade, order it as him and get it delivered there (with his permission of course)

And as mentioned before, could be center silencer block come loose! My valvers magnet done this at high rpm till I removed the silencer for a straight through pipe
