Exhaust heat shield.... vital?
Hi all.
Just returned from a trip away and on the way home my yaris develops a tinny rattle. A quick inspection underneath shows that the heat shield above the the middle box on the exhaust has come loose. The points on the shield where it bolts to the car have corroded. Is this shield a vital safety measure or am I ok to not get it replaced? I couldnt see anything vital it was protecting, none of the break lines or fuel lines are in that area. |
