Guest tazanddave Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 came home tonight and heard a knock come from engine.Got it looked at by breakdown guy but think the downpipe part of the exhaust may have developed a hole as the engine sounds like air coming from front by the exhaust heat shield and k&n air filter. Any help or suggestions please guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest s6boy1979 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Is it a standard exhaust? The manifolds are known for cracking due to engine movement cause by worn engine mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest s6boy1979 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Dont forget to check the mounts as well. If these are knackered it will just happen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tazanddave Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 it was a bolt that sheered,leaving part in manifold and cracking the downpipe slightly.too many high speed humps near our place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
