AndrewL Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I'm about as far from an expert as you can get but seeing as it's only come on once the new exhaust has been fitted it sounds like it's blowing from one of the joints between two sections of the system and it needs resealing. Could also be a dodgy silencer (which I presume is new?) or cracked manifold (unlikely). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exhaust is brand new thanks for your reply i will let him know cheers. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkesie Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Poorly sealed joint they do tend to carbon up over a short periodunless its a particulary shonky joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
