Exhaust Advice

AustinMaxi · 23rd September 2020, 06:17

As my car does me no favours, the exhaust started blowing yesterday and the MOT is due on the 19th October.

If it is the rear silencer, what are my options for a good quality replacement? The DMGRS one looks to be out of stock until December, but that it for a saloon (mine is a 1.8T tourer).

The Rimmer Bros one looks nothing like the original and tourer exhausts are out of stock.

Would a temporary repair get it through the MOT?

A temporary repair is fine here if it stops it blowing, otherwise try autodoc.co.uk

Hi Martin,

As Vitesse says, yes it will so long as it's no longer blowing. A temporary repair will also buy you some time to source a replacement. Walker exhausts, a long established company, has a very helpful sales department on 0121 609 3047. You'll have to be prepared to travel to a motor factor to collect it though.

I just fitted a Klarius to my 1.8 saloon which is fine.

I bought it from another member who bought it for his Tourer but never fitted it, l don't know why not. I think there may be some body contact issues with the Tourer that you don't get on the saloon. I've had no issues with it anyway.

My back box has a slight blow too, I did a temp repair with a heat resistant paste, Gungum is fine, MOT passed last Saturday with no advisories either, I spoke to the mechanic and he looked at it and said as above, it's not blowing I don't see a problem.
