raspy tinny noise on exeleration .



  clio 182 54 reg
ive owned my 182 since monday and it passed a aa inspection with no faults or recomdations whats so were as expected with only 24k fsh ect , but ive noticed this raspy sort of blow noise on exelration. but wen the person i bought it of took me out in it windows were shut ect so if it was there then i didnt here it , but i think its gettin louder unless its just me.
iv taken it to the local garage and he thinks its a tiny hole in the joint after the cat so he took the clamp of and sealed it and sed it was right but only for a few mins so he told me to ring the aa and ask why they didnt pick up on this after all this is why i paid £137 for them to check it right? anyway awaiting response from aa but any idvise or help would be appreciated.

I have this, crack in the output flange of the cat :(
I had it welded but its gone again within a month.

Check it on some ramps, disconnect everything behind the cat and look with a torch at the flange.


Now looking for a second hand cat / decat.

Also got this crack on the output of the Cat.

Atleast i'm not the only one - lol

Probably get mine welded up and while it's off tighten or remove that damned heat shield!!

My cat is cracked also, + the baffles are loose, i get a buzzing/ whistling sound on acceleration and a rattling sound on deceleration, also the trip computer is showing 27mpg so i will need to change the system soon!

I was getting the same sort of noise. Ended up the exhaust bracket on the rearbox was touching the rear mount as the rubber was failing. £24 for gen part and sorted thankfully.

Edit: was getting the sort of turbo noise but no blowing sorry.
