Exhaust Service Leicester

Did you know a faulty exhaust system is one of the common reasons vehicles fail their MOT?

A malfunctioning exhaust not only affects your van’s fuel efficiency but can also lead to engine performance issues—or even failure.

At Van Repairs Team, we offer comprehensive exhaust checks in Leicester to keep your vehicle running smoothly and MOT-ready.

Why Exhaust Maintenance Matters

Your van’s exhaust system plays a vital role in:

• Reducing emissions
• Enhancing fuel economy
• Optimising engine performance
• Minimising noise

When components like the catalytic converter or silencer develop faults, your vehicle’s overall performance can quickly decline.

Common Signs of a Faulty Exhaust System

Watch for these red flags:

• Decreased fuel efficiency
  A faulty exhaust increases engine workload, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
• Frequent engine misfires
  A clogged catalytic converter can prevent exhaust gases from exiting properly, causing misfires.
• Strong smell of exhaust fumes
  Toxic fumes inside the cabin may signal a leak in your exhaust system.
• Poor acceleration
  Loss of power when accelerating can stem from restricted exhaust flow.
• Loud noises or rattling under the van
  Unusual sounds often point to a broken silencer or loose exhaust components.
• Black smoke from the tailpipe
  This is typically a sign of an unfiltered emissions issue.

At Van Repairs Team, we inspect all critical exhaust components, including:

• Catalytic converter
• Exhaust manifold
• Silencer
• Oxygen sensors
• Exhaust pipe and joints

We’ll identify the root cause of any issue and recommend the most appropriate solution.
