[Mk2] [Turbo] Mr2 sounds like a tractor! HELP!

Post by robin91 »

Hi everyone,

Basically I went over a speed bump yesterday and my car went bang lol. Next thing I know it sounds like a tractor on steroids.

I checked te flexi and it "seems" fine, still shiny and new looking. The bckbox also seems fine.

Only think I can see is a pipe leading from the manifold straight down blowing air, which has nothing on the end of it? It has a silver bell looking thing on top of the pipe ( sorry not tech minded ). But apparently when my friend covered his hand over this pipe, it sounded "normal" again. Is something meant to be on the end of this pipe?

Or any other thoughts?

Also went revving the car it seems sluggish

Thanks in advance

Do you mean the exhaust manifold? Without seeing photos it's difficult to understand what you're referring to? If you're in or near Manchester you're welcome to pop round mine and I'll take a look at it?

Maybe the downpipe has a extra bung in it for any extra sensors and its shaken loose over time and fell out?
