Howdy people.
Well I have noticed that my car exhaust makes a pinging noise at a certain rpm and after months of trying to figure out what the hell it was I think I have located it to the Cat. Getting my head under the car the sound is coming from im guessing is the cat, or near there. What I need to know is, what are other signs of a cat being blown, any idling problems? Also my car is blowing out smoke and it never used to, so this oculd be the cause right? I think the owner I bought the teg off not too long ago musta thrashed the poor bugger. Also, my teg is at around 133k, I am thinking I want a major service done, anything necessary to get the car running at optimal performance. This includes changing timing belts and water pumps etc correct? I always get my cars serviced from my local mechanic whom is damn good at his job, very cluey guy and we have stayed iwth him after many shonky fellas. But this time it might be an idea to take it to Honda, what do you guys reckon? Anyways sorry for the long post, I am just really peeved atm, wanna get this car back up to where it should be.
Kind regards,
Javed
