Slowing Down Noise?

March 27, 2008

I have a 97 Carine E SLI leanburn. 1.6 petrol. When I slow down I am hearing a noise. It's kind of a rough noise, possibly from the exhaust. I know it's due an oil change and is booked in for tomorrow. I have mentioned in a previous post that the engine light is always on. It passed a previous NCT car test with this light on, and so I have been led to believe it's a simple electrical fault. Could it be related to the noise? But the light has been on for 3-4 years!

Perhaps the oil change will work it out? The car drives really well though, and shows no signs of stopping even at 186k miles on it!!

You may get more responses if you post this on the Carina Forum!

I didn't find a Carina forum before and since the avensis is the 'new carina' I felt this was the place? But thanks for pointing out that there is now a carina forum!
