Oxymoron Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Hi, Took the car into the dealer the other day, as since we've come back from France the exhaust has been blowing in the engine bay....Sounded more like a diesel than ever! :( Turned out to need a new manifold gasket....just sounds like a tin of nails now instead of a taxi! :D Cheerz. :lol: Quote
Terry1100 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Oxy, Sorry to hear that mate. How many miles on your Blingo ? Any indication that this is something that Blingos suffer from or just "one of those things" cheers Quote
Oxymoron Posted July 21, 2005 Author Posted July 21, 2005 Hi, My car has just done 20k miles...it's 16 months old now. I think it was just a one off problem...I did give it some welly, fully laden up some twisty hills in France though and it seemed to start getting noisier after this! Luckily it was covered under the warranty, so no bill to pay! The engine always sounds smooth when driving, but at idle it sounds a bit rattlely! I've been told it's the injectors, rather than anything mechanical? Cheerz :lol: Quote
