Arrow FIXED:- 2006 330D exhaust rattle

Had a rattle from the exhaust tailpipe/tailbox area at idle - sounded horrible!

Decided to have a look - simply banging the tailpipes with your fist would bring the rattle on.

Upon pulling the trims off slightly, I saw this - hey presto!



The trims were full of small roadstones, grit and tar which were resonating and causing the rattle at idle.

Simply removing the trims (pull hard!) and a decent cleanup with wire wool and some solvent to dissolve the tar, they're like new!



and the end result - 10 minutes work!
