Exhaust problem

heybaby · 02-01-2009 8:36pm #1

Hi guys am new to the motor forum, just looking for your help. I have a noisy exhaust, that's also slightly loose and is rattling when the engine is on. Anyone know whether i'll need to get it replaced, is it dangerous to drive my car and where i should bring it without paying an extortionate amount to have it fixed? Its a 95 seat ibiza, scrap yards arent an option as I'm no mechanic.

Cheers

Exhaust is fecked by the sounds of that, where about is the sound/rattle coming from, closer to the engine or at the back of the car?

Sounds like the back box, I just searched a few for you on ebay, they are about €180-200 new. You'd be better off buying new anyway because a second hand one mighten last p!ssing time. What engine is it?

Its the back part of the exhaust system. Actually looking at these some of them are less than €100. Its an easy job to fit them aswel.

Before you buy make sure it is broken and cannot be fixed. I have the same problem but my mechanic told me he can weld it . The box itself is OK but where it is connected is broken. So make sure it cannot be fixed before buying a new one

went to a mechanic who put the car on a ramp thing to let me look at the underside of the car, it seems the exhaust is coming apart in several places , so ive opted for a new exhaust, particularly as i have an nct coming up later in the year, and besides there are 70k miles on the clock anayway, and theres little else wrong with the car.
