Anyone know if Oettinger exhausts are any good...and is this noise normal...?

Hi

I've found a UK supplier who can supply and fit an Oettinger exhaust. They're a German make apparently. Does anyone know if they are a good quality build?

Also, is it normal for the engine to be slightly noisy after a journey? After I return home from work if I let the car idle it makes a very faint ticking noise which I have isolated to the main belt on the left hand (driver side) side of the engine...it's either the belt or the motor that drives the belt. The noise is not loud. The car is very smooth and quiet while driving. What does the belt do? ...it is constantly moving while the engine is idling. I know it's not to do with the cooling fan as that cuts in some time later.

Are all VR6's slightly noisy under the bonnet on idle?

Thanks for any help.

Matt

My belt ticks at tick over all the time.

The belt is for the PAS, Aircon plus a few other things, the ticking noise might be a valve of some sort near the air box. If you let the engine idle after a while the ticking will start if you put you hand on the cylindar valve thing you can feel it pulsing.

Not right technical but you get the idea

Thanks for your answers guys. The noise had me a little worried !

Has anyone heard of Oettinger? Are their exhausts any good?

Who's the cvompany thats supplying the exhaust?

I thought Oettinger was a styling company?
