Its the sound absorbing wadding coming out of the back box. It happened to mine about 6 months ago. Must change the back box some time.
You need something like a straightened out coat hanger with a hook formed on the end to try to pull it all out. It blocked my back box and the car lost most of its grunt for a day or two until I found out what the problem was. Thumbs Up!

Thought that was just for opening the door..... Roll Eyes

Will check it out, just pulled a piece off by hand this morning. Need to have a better look as this could affect or is it effect? performance and mpg, seems like a recent back box though..... Sad

That said, this fecking car was supposed to be typical one person owner fully serviced etc and has had everything wrong with it, it's days are increasingly numbered but then you spend money and you have to keep it Roll Eyes

Might give it to swmbo and get myself a new ~~Citroen~~ reliable car.... Cheesy

Mar 2011 at 08:53 It's not the cars fault V, it's a shite exhaust. What make is it? See eternal car on gay bay. £30 odd for a back box..??? In fact on yours you may as well do the cat back system. Or just pull all the wadding out and play with corsa boys for a while.

I might be tempted to push the warranty, nout to say it was fitted immediately after purchase? Undecided
