My FR sounds real rough

[Bunnin]

Today leaving work i started my to find it sounding really rough!, i quickly open the bonnet and the noise was worse!

As the car finished its warm up i started to look around but couldnt spot any obvious problems. each time i reved it sounded like a bad vibration. As i drove home the sound got quiter but was still noticeable. Sounded like a loose bracket or something.

Once i got home i left it to cool down for an hour then started it up again and it was as bad as before!!!!

i wondering if its something to do with the downpipe perhaps as when its cold it sounds like (when u used to put plastic or cardborad to ur bike spokes to make that annoying sound) but once it warms up and maybe expands it starts to fade!!

Im miffed, anybody had any problems like this??

i did lose manifold bolts going into the turbo
made awful sound

 

[Bunnin]

really!

Think i might pop it down Kwik fit to have them look under the car!!

 

[gazjones]

i just took it to seat as it needs new bolts if its the same problem

Complete waste of time, in my opinion. Krap-Fit don't have the specific expertise to do problem-shooting: all they know how to do is pull bits off your car and stick new bits on (and I even have my personal doubts about that).

After several bad experiences, I have sworn that I will never let one of their fitters even breathe on my car, let alone attempt to actually do something to it.

(In case the mods are concerned that might be libellous, I know other people who have had good experiences with them - but their experiences are very different from mine.)
