AUDI 90 - Exhaust Raddle LOUD Help!
Hi,
On a cold start, I got under the car and in the first 10 seconds (so I
didn't burn my hands off) I felt the exhaust chamber under the car
(not the pipe).. I swear is sounds like there is something IN it,
raddling around.
I had a similar experience, which was resolved here thanks!, where it
was the heat plate being loose, but I can't find any missing bolts on
the heat plate.
Could I be missing brackets the keep the exaust in place?
Can anything actually get in there??? Doubt.
Thanks for your help
Erik

Insides of the catalytic converter can certainly break up, causing a
'rattle'. Not sure about a 'raddle', though....

You should probably wait for a more authoritative answer, but my guess
is..
1) the internals of the catalytic converter are rattling around until
they come up to operating temp, and
2) don't worry about it.
