When starting from cold car sounds very lumpy and on tick-over sounds very deisel like. Once car has warmed up noise quietens. There is no loss of power and the car seems to run as should do.:Susp:
Took to my local garage who kindly looked at it for me. They were pretty certain that the problem relates to the up-pipe as after inspecting the rest of the system(all standard) there wasnt any obvious faults. The noise seemed to be comming from that area also.:2ponder: Because they don't specialise in scoobs they recommended i go to someone who could diagnose with more certanty and that has led me to yourself!!
I had a similar senario when i had a fiat coupe turbo. That turned out to be a split in one of the manifold branches(common with those) the noise stopped when the car warmed up as the heat would expand the metal and close the split.
As fate would have it i bought a replacement manifold that has an up-pipe joined to it before i was havin any probs. I got this as i was gonna replace the whole exhaust system until my circumstances changed and i put the car up 4 sale. (see for sale thread).
Forgive me for being nieve but i understand that you work on scoobs for a living? :blush: and would be most privaliged if you could let me know when i could get yourself or someone you recommend to have a look for me. I know it's short notice but have week starting 12th feb off work so could do anytime then?
Thankyou for your advice in advance!!:)
