Post Heat exchanger rattle
Hi.
The driver's side heat exchanger has started to rattle, had a quick check and it's loose on the exhaust pipe. The car is in use at the moment so I can't have a good look. How is it fixed to the pipe?

I'm afraid that pipe nad case are pressed together.

They are spot welded, but often come apart due to corrosion. A dab of weld will cure it.

Thanks for the replies. Doesn't look like it's a big problem then. Have to have a good look at the weekend.
Cheers
