Title: Rrrrrrrrrrrrrasp...  When cold!!!
Post by: Dave-C on 02 August 2007, 17:54:13

Gents & Ladies,  (Very P.C. ME)

When the Meeega's starting from cold or cooler than running temp i.e. after being swithched off after a run..  As you rev the engine there is a Rrrasp audible through the exhausts....  clears when normal op temp...  pretty sure NOT a cat or exhaust  baffle...  I think it's EGR related..  could anyone in the know clarify my theory and advise Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese...

Cheers DC

Manifold gasket?????? If it has started leaking it will rasp when cold and then seal up when hot :-/

Leaking manifold gaskets are really hard to pinpoint for sure. I was certain my driver's side was leaking but couldn't pinpoint it. When I changed the gasket it did fix the problem.

I now suspect the passenger's side is going too  :(
