Rattling Exhaust

Post by Calum »

could be a number of things matee!

1. the exhaust could be hitting the rear axle causing it to make a rattling sound.
2. the brackets come loose and is ratterling.
3. the exhaust grippers on the backbox have come out of the rubber mounts.
4. the exhaust system could have snapped off or it could fo fallen of the rubber mounts at the start of the mid section.

does it rattle when u go over a speed bump or when u drive over a pot hole??


hope that helped..

have a look under the car see if you can see anything obivious
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
