Chattanooga, TN drivers tend to take good care of their cars. Still, problems happen to us all. One common and potentially dangerous issue is a leak in the exhaust system. Here are some things that the team at Porsche of Chattanooga wants you to watch out for.
If you have noticed that your engine seems noisier than usual, especially when you accelerate, you could have a leak in your exhaust system. A hissing or popping noise at random intervals can also be an indicator. If you smell gas inside your vehicle, bring it in to have it looked at right away.
Some of the symptoms of an exhaust leak can be harder to detect. Leaks can reduce your fuel efficiency over time, so if you are stopping to fill up more often, this is something worth exploring. The engine can also feel less powerful overall if the exhaust is leaking.
