#1: Tinny rattle coming from exhaust Author: Jarret, Location: DerbyshirePosted: Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:08 am ---- Hello
I have a tinny rattle coming from my exhaust. You can hear it most if you dip the clutch with the hand-break on.
It happens when pulling off or changing gears. The car is 02 plate 206 1.4 LX
Any ideas
Cheers

There are various heatshields along the complete length of the exhaust system basicly, are you able to get the car up on stands and have a poke about underneath? Could check your bolts at the same time?

Best thing for you to do is jack the car up, get it rattling and feel your way down the exhaust holding and shaking it as you go and you will soon find it. Best do it with some gloves on when the engine is cold.

#12: Re: Tinny rattle coming from exhaust Author: Jarret, Location: DerbyshirePosted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 3:53 am ---- I jacked it up this morning and looked and sprayed some wd40 on the seals and the sound is gone!

Inside the joint there is a circular metal sealing ring. When that gets old, rusts and wears away the joint starts to grind together and makes the squeaking you can hear.
Here's a pic of the old one from my car and new one I fitted side by side:
You can get a new one from pug if you want to fit it yourself. I think you have to buy the bolts and springs too so works out about £13.
