Tommy_G Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hi guys, not been around for a while, being at uni and all.thing is my car makes a nasty metalic rattle/grinding noise. this occurs wen i go over bumps. but mainly wen i drive between speed bumps, leave it in second nd take myu foot off the gas. i dont get it. first thort was gearbox but it i rev it hard on standstill it sounds like its commin from the back. maybe its the exhaust as there only one clip. Anyone know it i can get another fitted?Cheers guys.tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yeh sounds like exhaust. Don't know what yours looks like, but my mate had the same problem, we just tightened up the origional brackets, maybe they worked loose or something.- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steviet Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 sounds like exhaust to me mate, check all bolts on exhaust,and rubber mountings at the back box,it could be hitting the rear axle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steviet Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 or it could be your cat,thats fucked inside mate,thats if you have one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy_G Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 hmmm yer ill have another look. could be hittin the axel actually. the one clamp is shit, can i fit another to make it firmer anywhere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlet ryan Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 defo the exhaust have the same problem sounds really bad and serious mechanically. real pain in the ass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 cats dont make metallic noises, 4efte has a ceramic catalyser... you shoud tell if its your exhaust its a pretty distinct noise. give your backbox a kick... if not it could be a wheel bearing on its way to heaven. they make grinding noises when dying.
