| fluid in rear silencers/rattle somewhere behind driver |
|
Hi
I was under the car today looking to see if anything was loose as I have a bad rattle that only occurs when the car shudders over a road imperfection. I don't think this is related to the b pillar rattle issue as its not a tick but a distinct metallic rattle like a loose cable rattling in a door or behind the rear side panel. Any ideas on this would be welcome. This will be difficult for the dealer to find I guess as it doesn't do it all the time.
I'm hoping someone on here might have had similar and had some success.
Anyway, whilst under the car tapping everything I gave the exhausts a shake to eliminate heat shields and got a surprise.
It sounds as if the rear silencers are full of water or some liquid anyway. I can hear it sloshing around.
Any ideas. Its a 64 plate so still under warranty.
I'm concerned that whatever it is it will rot the exhaust from the inside. my last disco 3 was 9 years old and still on the original exhaust.
back to the dealers??

ok brief update in case its useful to anyone.
Rattle in rear has been identified as coming from the middle row seat drivers side, when the backrest is lowered but seat is left in the higher position the rattle stops. as soon as the backrest is reinstated to the up right position the rattle happens again. I think its coming from the lower catch and not the top handle thingy. Anyway investigations will continue to see if I can fix. anyone else had a similar issue?
Fluid in exhaust - its being booked in to dealer to investigate. I'll be interested to know if its diesel, oil or water that's sloshing about. I think they will have to drop the exhaust and tip it out. More later

Hi Steve ref the liquid in the exhaust do most modern cars convert some of the exhaust gasses in to fluid and expel them as u drive as I have seen this on a lot of modern vehicles not sure if that's the case with the disco but have deffo seen it on saloons ect just a though but I think you've done the right thing under warranty get the dealers spending there money God created heavy armour on 06 sept 1916, on the 7th the devil stood to attention!

Liquid in exhauts is usually just condensate - a good thrash up a motorway will sort

Thanks chaps.
It certainly hasn't had a good run for a few months and could be what you suspect. My only reservation is that there seems to be a lot of it from the sound of sloshing !
Even if I give it a fast run on the motorway with the 8 speed auto box its still only around 1500 rpm. how fast do I need to go !!
maybe I will leave it till after ive towed the caravan, that should get it hotter. Currently 2015 D4 SE Tech, Corris Grey
