my exhaust has popped :(

Driving home last night, got to a roundabout and suddenly my car started to sound like a scooby.
I spoke to my dad and he said he'll look at it and let me know today when im back from work.
Anyone have any ideas on how much this could cost to fix?

coil pack usually makes it sound like a scooby

 

[JayCho]

ouch, that sounds pricey, how much could that cost?

 

[daves ibiza]

yeah coil packs mate bout 30 each for good ones ect better do all 4 now bud. tommy just had 4 brandnew ones off me no doubt im guna need some

 

[tommy2008cupra]

.....ye lol

 

[tom w]

not too dear really ,you can get 4 for under £100 you are better off replacing all of them if thats defo the prob as it put extra strain on the others and the will fail soon after

 

[JayCho]

I'll ring my dad in a bit an get an update

So you only replaced 1 coil pack ?

 

[JayCho]

yep and i assume why the car won't go over 3000rpm in 2nd gear and feels really underpowered?
just given it a test drive lol

 

[turbo009]

More will blow soon my friend,best replacing all 4 at once if you can

 

[JayCho]

hi again guys!
due to work blocking SCN and the coil packs not being available until today i havent been able to post an update

all of the coil packs have been replaced now, but the car still feels under powered and makes a hissing sound if i go over 3000rpm

any ideas?

sounds like a split boost pipe or a pipe popped off somewhere
