I have a problem with my Mk2 1.2 (2000) Punto.

I recently purchased and got fitted a new sportex exhaust backbox, whilst at the gararge he said i have a slight crack in my centre silcencer box. When i put my foot down (whilst looking under my car) i can see all the 'gas' escaping from the centre box, and i can hear a hissing noise (which is slighty cool!!)

Is there anyway i can fill the hole as a temporary solution??

weld or exhaust putty paste .,,,.. ....... bit of metal fill mixed


how bigs your hole .............. this is not a good question

Try 'Gun Gum Flexiwrap', cheap and easy fix - lasts ages and AFAIK meets with MOT standards.

Its only a slight crack, half an inch. Not really a hole

thats the stuff ............... good one ...

get exhaust real hot before appling .... then it will set

Went to halfords yesterday, used my bro's work outside ramp (only get the car about 2-3 foot off the ground, so i was laying in duck poo . . . don't ask!) and applied the Gun Gum. Used the car this morning, seems good. No more hissing.

Cheers for the advice guys!!

Well, the Gun gum lasted all of a day! The product does work, but the damaged area is in a really weird place. Anyways, i'm going to get a new centre and rear for the car (£102 parts and labour) anyone interested in buying my used sportex rear box?
