When this system isn\u2019t working correctly it can lead to several problems with your vehicle. In this blog post, we&#8217;re going to explore the most common car exhaust problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the most common car exhaust system problems?<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rust<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faulty oxygen sensor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exhaust leaks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clogged muffler<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broken hangers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vibrations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased engine noise<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exhaust smoke<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Rust<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rust is very dangerous for the exhaust system. If you\u2019re frequently taking short trips and car journeys then this lets water collect in the exhaust system, but it never heats up enough to burn off. Over time this condensation builds up and turns into rust that corrodes your exhaust from the inside out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Faulty oxygen sensor<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern cars have several oxygen sensors and if it malfunctions or becomes faulty this can cause the engine\u2019s computer to not be able to create a correctly balanced air-fuel mixture. This could lead to the vehicle being low on air and high on gas, creating a blend that\u2019s hotter than intended. This can cause a clog in your catalytic converter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Exhaust leaks<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When driving on roads that have rough conditions regularly this can be difficult for vehicles to handle and cause an exhaust system to not last as long as it should. Driving in these conditions can lead to weak areas, such as causing joints to crack and leak poisonous fumes into the vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Clogged Muffler<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One other\u00a0car exhaust problem that arises from rough road conditions is a clogged muffler where small internal parts can become loose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Broken hangers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose of hangers is to protect your exhaust system from banging around when you hit a bump. When a hanger breaks or falls off this causes the exhaust pipes to loosen and move around. This loose movement can lead to dents, cracks, or in some cases, break off.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Contact<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect that your vehicle has an <a href=\"\/exhausts.php\">exhaust system<\/a> issue, then our highly trained mechanics can help.
