Rich_Eason Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Hi all Assistance required. Yesterday went on a bit of a Sunday drive taking in the sights of Somerset, Devon and Dorset covering nearly 300miles. As the day progressed I began to notice that my exaust on the VTS was starting to "chirp" and "plonk" whilst going over pot holes and "Cats Eyes"...basically sounds like it is rubbing against something at the rear. Only heard with the window down whilst going along and I can replecate the noise by slamming the boot. By the trip home it had turned into an audible noise inside the car in and around the driverside rear seat...I have managed to discount the mother-in-law who was sat in the back at the time...are there any known causes of this as I thought I read something similar effecting a diesel varient? Or do you think this has been caused by exessive heating over the long journey times?... typically 1.5 - 2hours. Sidenote....Although plastered in road dirt, mud and seagull sh*te (and still is) it was parked up along Weymouth Harbour for a while. Whilst walking down the other side of the harbour, again witnessed some people were peering in through the windows...if people are that curious about the car get down the citroen garage and buy one....or is the dealer "the issue" why we dont see many more of these cars on the road?

wozza Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Got under the car to have a look? Possibility one of the mountings has come loose / broke. Quote
Welshguy Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Could be possibly the same problem I had with the exhaust knocking against the gear linkage? More of a heavy knocking noise though? Quote
Rich_Eason Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 Got back in the car last night and is now back to normal and completly noise free :angry: Quote
Welshguy Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Were you using "Substances" at the time? :angry: Quote
Rich_Eason Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 Cut your jibes Welshguy, this is a very sensitive and personal matter! :lol: :angry: Nothing different just got in and drove away and would not or could not make it make the noise..... I guess I'd put it down as just one of those things Quote
Welshguy Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I guess I'd put it down as just one of those things Lol yeah...one of those things that substance use brings on... ;) Quote
billynibbles Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Cut your jibes Welshguy, this is a very sensitive and personal matter! :D :P Nothing different just got in and drove away and would not or could not make it make the noise..... I guess I'd put it down as just one of those things I'm with you on this, Rich. Nothing worse than a 'new' unexplained noise to add to the list. Quote
