Hi All,


When travelling at about 60-65 in top gear and I put my foot down or drop a gear whilst going up a hill, the engine sounds noisy, as though the exhaust is blowing on the near side behind the cab. If however I run the engine whilst static and rev the engine I do not get the same noise. Any ideas please?

Thanks

If you get under from the front and look up at the far side of the engine, you should see it. To be honest, I would not mess about and just let a mechanic sort it out as it could be a number of things causing the problem. The wastegate sticking is another common problem and you cannot fix that yourself if you are not mechanically minded.
 
I actually had a look under the side where I thought the noise was and discovered a 1.5" hole in the exhaust near to the silencer. I've had a quote for a custom made stainless steel exhaust for £399.00.:worship:
