Golf cart/diesel??

OK I went to the dealership today and I am happy to report it's now FIXED! No more cheap car sound.

They said it was a gasket in the exhaust someplace (they called it a donut?). I can get the part # from the invoice if you'd like. Total cost was $175 part & labour.

I AM HAPPY.

Was it making a louder noise when you gave it gas, that's what is happening for me right now. My mechanic didn't look at it too closely, it was in for brake issues, but he said it could be a cracked manifold or an exhaust gasket. Did you get yours fixed at the dealer?

Yes, it was only making the noise when I accelerated.

To Vinceb, I think that's the gasket they were talking about - it was actually $48 for the gasket and $28 for whatever else ... the rest was labour cost lol. I know I could have brought this anywhere but USUALLY I get some deals when I go to the dealership... like this time they re-adjusted my rear breaks and also tightened my serp. belt for free.

EDIT:

Part # for the gasket is 17451-21070 (for a 2007 hatch)

The bolts are 90901-05020 x 2 and the springs for the bolts are 9051-35036 x2
