Compressor Front Pipe

[tccom]

hi,cars in at the dealers again for this vibration from the front pipe/cat a week on saturday,already had new springs and bolts but still doin it ,startin to think its the cat on its way out as kangzy and towey have had the cats goon there compressors!

[kangzy]

mate does the noise only appear after the cars been running for a while? metal expands when heated.. it mayb jst ur centre box if the normal system has one..

if u think its ur cat ask mr T to unbolt it and have a look.. its pretty easy to spot if it breaking up

[toweylowey]

i always use to get wot kangzy described

but bout 2 weeks ago was drivin an could here very loud rattle in exhaust, sounded like there was something metal in the exhaust loose

it cleard out the next day but then ecu light came on

took it to mr T an cat had gone, it's goin in tomoz to get replaced

if you got any doubt just get it in to be checked, especially if under warranty as they have told me it's a £3500 part

hi towey,it does it all the time hot or cold only when you pull off. if you pull off usein normal revs it vibrates in 1st gear get goin to 2nd its ok after that, seems to only do it when the engine labours.got a new cat back system on so doubt it will be the center box. cheers

hi,been drivin to work today and have been listenin to this vibrating noise dont think its the cat it sounds like a heat shield or a bracket resonating when under load as it is ok once u are drivin.gonna have a look at it myself tomoz.

oh ballcocks!

[kangzy]

oh ballcocks!

honestly mate.. got to any garage an ask them to check out your cat and pre cat... because by the time engine light comes on it may be to late and particale may already have got in to your engine

hi mate ,its going in on saturday so they can check it thats what the warranty is for,i had a look today at the front pipe and the heat shields are fine.am thinking the divider plate in the front pipe is loose as a couple of owners have had this prob but dealer just put springs and bolts on last time and did not remove front pipe to check it properly and never test drove it to see if it was ok

hi,well didnt go to the dealers in the end had to work last weekend so fixed the vibration on the exhaust myself, needed new exhaust mounting rubbers so got heavy duty ones and all is no good,also fitted my tte front bumper aswell. :D
