AUDI 90 - Exhaust Raddle LOUD Help!
Hi,
On a cold start, I got under the car and in the first 10 seconds (so I didn't burn my hands off) I felt the exhaust chamber under the car (not the pipe).. I swear is sounds like there is something IN it, raddling around. I had a similar experience, which was resolved here thanks!, where it was the heat plate being loose, but I can't find any missing bolts on the heat plate. Could I be missing brackets the keep the exaust in place? Can anything actually get in there??? Doubt. Thanks for your help Erik |

Doubt. Insides of the catalytic converter can certainly break up, causing a 'rattle'. Not sure about a 'raddle', though.... ;-) Dan D '04 A4 1.8Tq MT-6 Central NJ USA |

You should probably wait for a more authoritative answer, but my guess is.. 1) the internals of the catalytic converter are rattling around until they come up to operating temp, and 2) don't worry about it. miguelito |

Thank both. It is definately something inside, no doubt. It does not
go away have it heats up. So I'm hoping this is not a replacement :- S, do you think I can take it out and open it out. or no way? thanks erik |
