Hi Guys , wonder if anyone can help me out , I had my clutch replaced last week ( Dual Mass Flywheel) , Since then i have experienced more exhaust noise from tick over and loud exhaust and Wind noise at speed . Has anyone experienced this ? It sounds as if there is a sound proofing missing , I have checked the exhaust and it dont appear to be blowing ? I spoke to the mechanic but he said nothing is missing ! Im confused . Does anyone know if there is a sound proofing or shields that would need to be removed to change the clutch ? any help would be appreciated :o

    could be the road noise deflector (engine bay tray) has not been replaced, could be thats the problem? easiest way to tell - pop the bonnet and look down, if you can see the floor in most places, it wasnt refitted...
