Exhaust blowage
Driving around t'other day, I heard a noise and then I heard a lot of blowing. I finally got under the car and had a look for the massive gaping hole I was expecting to see. 'Tweren't there! Odd.
Lifted the bonnet and had a nice rev to hear the blowing and farting coming from the header pipes. Looked close, and no holes. But flubbery blow pop continues. So, i traced the noise to the downpipe, header, exhaust gasket. Not sure (as you can tell) what the item is, but the bit where the 4 pipes go into the engine block. It's that gasket. Can someone who isn't a complete imbecile like what I is tell me what this gasket is called? The header / exhaust / downpipe gasket. I have no chance of being able to change it myself, because I am mechanically useless, but at least I can get the part for the mechanic to fit for me, if I know what it is. Thanks. |

Exhaust manifold gasket - they are different between diesel and petrol engines - Rimmers sell them - not expensive - normally if leaking there is a distinctive ticking sound in the engine caused by escaping exhaust gas- also acceleration is impaired.

It does feel sluggish and has a weird sound, so I'm thinking it is that. I found
https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/...-lkg100300-oem that at DMGRS But then I saw this: https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/...sket-lkg100551 which looks different. It's a 2004 R75 1.8T. Which I think makes it a K series engine. |
