My Echo Exhaust Leak in Front ?
(i'm french) english not perfect.
Hi, The 29 July 2017, i start the car in the morning and i noticed exhaust leak in front never noticed this before. Is frequent problem on echo HB 2005 and yaris, platz ... exhaust leak in front ? 123 000km on it clean echo but sound crap since 29 july 2017 i don't know what is the cause, the car drive in quebec, rust problem? A little bit hit pedal gas and sound increase. A few shots of gas in neutral, and problem begins, small leak begin loud. The sound of the leak is more loud, after HWY ride Montreal-Quebec. 120-125 km h i put brandnew back exhaust in 2016 for 500$, now the problem repeat in front. gasket problem? headers ? exhaust under is not disconnected. I can leave it like that? Police ticket? Carbon monoxide? this leak disturbs the 1nz-fe? sound like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acrdE2Yjh8Y my echo sound short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGGJsOAErWU thanks you!

You obliviously have an exhaust leak at the front. The most common culprits would be the exhaust manifold gasket (#2), a crack in the exhaust manifold (#1), the manifold to mid pipe gasket (#6), and a hole somewhere in the mid pipe (#5). Take a look under the hood behind the engine to get a look at the exhaust manifold to see if the leak is there or further down the system. The exhaust manifold has a heat shield (#4) which you might want to take off to get a better look. If the leak is in the engine bay those fuses will eventually get into the cabin so I would get it fixed sooner rather than later. With a very loud exhaust you also run the risk of getting a ticket for that. Here's a diagram of the exhaust system on the 05 Echo HB:

Take the car to Monsieur Muffler for a free diagnosis. Then, decide what you want/need to do about the exhaust leak.

how do you go about finding a leak in the manifold/exhaust system? Is it like testing a gas or propane pipe for leaks (soap test) where you just put soap on the pipe and look for bubbles?

I can't get myself to trust CT guys working on my car. Especially for oil changes.
Oh same for Walmart! Watching them refill the coolant tank hurts my heart. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk |
