IF its the heat shield... Posted by JimBlake [Email] (#141) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JimBlake) on Tue, 23 Jul 2002 08:33:55 In Reply to: Tapping sound (solved), Steve, Mon, 22 Jul 2002 20:38:19 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Sounds like a heat shield. A number of people on the C900 board have had troubles like that. As the cars get old, the heat shield rusts & falls off, or people remove it thinking its not really necessary. Besides its a pain to replace. Then the catalytic converter sets fire to the wiring inside the center console.
The real way to fix it is probably to adjust the alignment of the exhaust system, or replace any mounting hangers that have come loose. But the shield is pretty thin. You might be able to just bend part of it out of the way. But when you do that, keep in mind that when the exhaust system gets hot it grows longer.
