S40 V40: - Exhaust question

2000V40 · Aug 25th, 2016, 11:31

Hi all, noticed my exhaust sounding a bit rough this morning and think i found out why.. would this be an easy/cheap fix at a garage or is diy-able for a numpty (hope the pic is included)?

try a coke can and two muffler clamps + some muffler paste. If that holds, you've bought yourself another year.

Silicon also works in instead of ex putty

Only hi temp silicone though, I used normal builders stuff once and after about 5 miles had a blowing exhaust and acrid smoke making its way into the car due to a split gearstick gaiter.

Turns out it wasn't the whole story. Had the car up for a thorough check and it looks like a new setup from middle and back will be required. bleh. Thanks for the replies and tips all!
