Jellybean Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hey Drove the car Friday and last nite ; Friday the exhaust did not sound right, louder than normal etc I know the weather is getting hotter but after 10-15 mins driving I need to open the window , it is so hot in there (Like having the Heater on full). This is even at night The heater Matrix is on lowest temp, it works fine , hot/Cold temperature ranges. I just installed a new exhaust not too long ago, I had to use some Exhaust sealant (Holts Gun Gum) around the 2nd down pipe (2nd cat goes); I have a sneaky suspicion she might be leaking again; I presume this will cause the rise in temp in the cabin. I covered the tail pipe with a cloth last night but I didn't see anything obvious leaking, hard to tell though considering the mild weather, Exhaust gases are fairly transparent . Center tunnel does not feel hotter than normal. Servicing her on Friday, so will have her on the ramp to check everything. Anybody have any other tips to check a leaking exhaust? Will the heat damage anything if I need to drive her to the Garage (1hr away)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 get under the car and get some tongs and hold tissue paper around the suspect areas, the tissue will flutter/blow if there is a leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
