It drives me nuts, because at that exact location I get a deep hum and vibration that I feel in the car, the steering wheel, and my feet. Rum - Yes, the thin sheet of metal sandwiched between heat shield and clip over stud is what I will try.

Due to the "anti freeze salt" they use on the roads during the winter (Norway), this top layer of rust on the exhaust is a familiar sighting. We are registered with the Information Commissioner, registration number ZA187892, it details the purpose for which we process personal data. All the cars i’ve owned the heat shields have never used conventional nuts, they’ve always been some form of clip. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . Heat-shields are usually attached to studs welded to the underside of the car, so you’re limited to the torque you can apply before shearing off the welded stud.I've bought the smaller thicker ones recently but that was only to fit one in a position that VW did not find the need to, the springy/flexible larger ones I've used for years on my older cars, nowadays these are only used to secure heat shields, their use in lower temperature locations has now been stopped and plastic nuts have replaced them in newer cars.

At Halfords, we have exhaust essentials, including premium parts, clamps and gaskets, and other accessories. The shield corrodes around where it contacts the clips and you end up with a big hole around the clip – galvanic corrosion I assume. Nightmare things, the amount of cars we see per year for rattles that are nothing more than heat shields that have dropped, most rot the actual heatshield and then it’s time for a big repair washer as most don’t want the cost of a new heatshield. I took off the lower exhaust manifold heat shield and removed the metal flanged sleeves that the bolts go through. Someone said to me that the rear end of the heat shield isn't really necessary and can safely be removed.

As for fitment, I guess they just push over the screw stud that is peeping out the heat shield, and has lots of rust on its surface? Make a couple of big square washers from a bean tin, folded a couple of times and a small hole made with a nail.
