Cat is making a buzzing noise
« on: 31 August 2009, 22:40 »
This has been going on for a while now but when ever i accelerate it makes a loud buzzing noise. You can hear it even when cruising at low revs but its more pronounced when  accelerating.

Its a fairly new cat, only done maybe 3-4k

Any Ideas?

Mine started rattling the other day too.

Got someone to hold a broom handle against it while I revved and the 'buzz' stopped.

Removed the heat shield and its all good  :cool:
