I read on these pages that somebody had what sounded like the exhaust blowing, one reply stated that the AIV as a cannister and this fills up, the noise could be coming from here which is somewhere near the wings on each side?

Does this cannister need emptying is another question I have?

 

Mine as been 'blowing' for about 6 weeks now, it just started one day and as not got any worse, not really causing me any bother. I have been under the car with it running and is near on impossible to locate where this noise is coming from, the exhaust is perfect by the way, it was suggested it could be from the manifold? :surrender:

 

Now, lunchtime today, started perfect from cold as ever, drove for 3 mins and it started to run very rough as if running out of fuel and I was juddering along, :angry: revs dropped to 600 from it's usual 780rpm.

Joined the motorway and the fault cleared, had the car boosting perfect, nearer home the fault did come back.

Tonight on the drive home it was more rough running than it was good, methinks the problem is getting worse :crying:

I do not have consult but can ask my garage to plug it in.

Can anybody please shed any light, :helpsmilie: I will greatly appreciate it,

Andy.

I thought the things under the wings were the secondary AIV and when defective they make a "gurgling" kind of sound from under the wing. They´re not "canisters" though, only canister I can think of is the Carbon canister, but this only fills with gases, nothing that would require emptyinng as you say.

 

I could be wrong but I can´´t see how either of them would cause the exhaust to "blow" as you describe.

 

:)

if one of the hoses has came off the aiv you will get an exhaust blow as its piped in from the cat.

"f one of the hoses has came off the aiv you will get an exhaust blow as its piped in from the cat."

 

Aha, you learn something new every day, Good to know too

Really really appreciate your replies guys and interesting about the pipe off.

Having driven the car today, to work and then from - total 11 miles, car was perfect :yes:

It was a very wet wet wet day yesterday :thumbdown: but I have never had a problem on wet days before.

Me can only see and test in the coming weeks.

Thank you again :clap:
