Hi,
For a long while now I have had a light rattling noise coming from underneath the car. I have checked the clamps, checked the heatshield and even had the CAT off just in case parts of the honeycomb filter inside had broken loose but there was nothing inside. The sound tends to come and go on tickover and when the revs get higher past 3000 it can disappear. Any ideas folks.... ps CAT sailed through MOT.....
Cheers
Paul

Peugeot’s exhaust manifold design is a set of 4 pipes located in a common exhaust manifold, and the strange tappet noise sounds like a common case of the exhaust manifold pipes rattling in that manifold.
This is a reasonably common occurrence on the GTi (at least up until the ’03 model), and requires that the manifold be removed and a few tack welds put in place to cure the noise.
Originally Peugeot insisted that the manifold be replaced, only for the problem to eventually reoccur. These days it is a simple case of removing the manifold and applying a few well-placed tack welds, all done at your friendly Peugeot Service place.
You can read a little about the procedure here: Noise on acceleration
A few people on the list have had this done, but it’s usually under warranty so I have no idea how much a dealer would charge for this. [sc]
Someone here in Sydney has just had the manifold welded for a labour charge of approx $120 (this includes removing and installing the manifold), and was at a Sydney Peugeot Dealer - 16 Nov 06 [sc] |

so bascially you need to take off the manifold to check if the exhaust pipe inside the manifold is loosen or not.

Hey folks. Does anyone know if a 406 2L manifold would fit the 206 gti. My pal has one down his yard and the pipes inside the manifold are the same.
Cheers
Paul
