ardandy 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Just tried to start the engine and heard a loud bang/pop. Looked underneath and saw this resting on the downpipe. What is it, can it be fixed relatively easily and should I be really worried? :( Fingers Crossed! :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted August 29, 2007 That was your ISV silencer. Guess you had a heavy backfire which modified it from being the silencer to having been your silencer. Think you need a new one, or some glue. Sorry I'm not more help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardandy 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Is this a get another and put on sort of problem or something bigger that caused it? The car hasn't being used for nearly 2 weeks, could that have caused it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 30, 2007 That happens when you get a big misfire into the inlet. Quite common as others have mentioned. You don't need the stupid thing anyway, bin it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Bin it and just buy some hosing to re-route the ISV. Takes about 10 minutes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
