Mike5483 Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 But now, I think its getting worse. i can now here the noise from inside of the car. It sounds to me like its coming from the Cat or somewhere there. I can here the same noise from he tailpipe, but it seems to start at the Cat. It sounds like a burburly, farty noise in the Cat, but just a burble at the tailpipe. It only does it if I blip the throttle. if I rev steadily, it doesnt make a noise. I also noticed the other day the car smelt like eggs. I have taken it to Citreon a little while back, but they told me it was the larger induction system on the 2.0 Litre engine readying itself for a 'performance burst'. Also, i feel as if the car isnt as quick as it used to be, although this could be just due to me now being accustomed to the speed and acceleration of the car. Finally, i notice that the exhaust moves a fair bit when blipping the throttle. Now, i know exhausts move, but this seems to me to move alot. Again, the dealer said it was just normal. Any thoughts??? I dont like to keep taking the car back to the dealer, cause they may think I'm being a pain in the arse. However, I really dont think my car should be sounding like this. Quote

Mike5483 Posted September 4, 2006 Author Posted September 4, 2006 Well, I know what you mean. it just seems that everytime I take my car to them, they nevere seem to be a ble to find a problem with it, or they cant recreate the problem, or they give me some strange excuse as to why it should do what its doing. They never really seem that interested in helping me. Unfortunately, the two other dealers around this way, are not easy for me to get to with work etc. Quote
incubus Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Me Mum had a Cat that smelt like smelly eggs once... :blink: It took 3 of us to get the bugger in the Bath tub.... :o .... Quote
Ciaran2903 Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 I know what you mean! I had a clutch problem, which would shudder HORRIBLY, and they said that "they could not re-create the problem". Bollocks!! I have a large problem with the Crawley dealership, everytime i go in i feel like they dont think that i am worthy of a C4! :blink: :o :( The Tundbridge wells dealership on the other hand is BRILLIANT! Love going in their, and thats not just for the eye candy! ;) :D Quote
incubus Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Oh....Sorry serious head on.... :o I had a Baffle go in my exhaust (Picasso)....6 months old..Rattled like buggery especially on De-celleration... :blink: ... Might not be that...thought i'd mention it...? ... Quote
Mike5483 Posted September 4, 2006 Author Posted September 4, 2006 I think its the Cat I'm looking at under the car anyway. Its a short, cylindrical canister type item under the middle of the car. Definately coming from there though. Quote
Z3M Roadster Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 If it rattles you have a problem as the ceramic material inside has broken. Don't know what a fart sound indicates Quote
