Exhaust Leak / Rattle - FYI To you guys
Exhaust Leak / Rattle - FYI To you guys
So i have noticed sometimes when pulling up to set of lights, every now & then i have a small vibration in the car. Like maybe engine mount might be faulty, or something obviously rubbing on something causing the vibration.
Many months ago when doing the last oil service, when taking the undertray off, there was a stud and nut that fell out (obviously fell from somewhere in the engine, and came to rest on the tray)
I traced it back to the exhaust manifold.
I though nothing of it at the time. Just another to do for a later date.
Anyway a couple days ago when taking the under tray off again for another service, there was yet ANOTHER stud & nut on the tray.
Leading me to believe there is MINIMUM 2 that have fallen out.
Anyway, i believe this may be the cause of the intermittent vibration at idle. Doesnt happen all the time, but sometimes.
Anyway i went ahead with sunset and purchased;
