Are saxos loud?
Hi guys just bought a y reg furio and ive noticed the engine is considerably louder than any other small hatchback ive had. Ive checked exhaust etc for holes and found nothing. Are they louder than normal??
Thanks!

Check the engine mounts, a broken one could cause the car to sound louder due to the vibrations

Found the cause! The bottom lambda sensor had become loose! And had a small hole allowing the blowing noise to occur.
Ive attempted to patch up with exhaust paste. But if I was to remove the sensor completely and just wrap exhaust tape around the hole would this effect mpg, performance etc??
Just wondering if one is enough?
