Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Afternoon, the missing bolt was noted on the PPI and I assumed that the technician who changed the exhaust many moons ago had forgotten to tighten it or it had just been missed.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Afternoon, the missing bolt was noted on the PPI and I assumed that the technician who changed the exhaust many moons ago had forgotten to tighten it or it had just been missed. I ordered a new one but was surprised that it didnt just screw in and on closer inspection I can see that the bracket:thread alignment is just off. Question is could I just loosen the opposite bolt give the bracket a slight adjustment and screw the bolt in or is this something more onerous. If so I will get the indi to do it when the car is next with him. Doesn't seem to be harming the car in any way but would be good to knock this off the PPI list. cheers, Ray

POST 2Original post

Your logic is correct. General rule with exhausts is to fit everything loosely and then tighten the bolts down. Only issue might be corrosion on bolts, so perhaps put a bit of penetrative oils on the them the night before to help loosen threads.

POST 3Original post

I would also recommend checking the exhaust bracket isn't cracked. A few years ago I traced an intermittent buzzing noise to a hairline vertical fracture on this bracket, near one of the ends where it supports the exhaust. My Indy Porsche maintainer told me he's seen quite a few of these brackets crack. May be totally unrelated to your bolt miss alignment, but I'd recommend having a quick look with a torch just to check.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

cheers, will give it a try at the weekend. Its only 1/2 mm or less out but enough not to allow the thread to start. Will report back Ray
