Title: 1.8T (AUM) Exhaust Rattle
Post by: ad1966 on 29 May 2009, 09:01

 Hi

 Has anyone here experienced the centre section of the exhaust (original standard item) on a 1.8t rattling ??

 The front of the tale section of the system should be held in a half hexagonal bracket that is rubber mounted which appears to have been "spot" welded to the exhaust. This it would appear has broken away from the exhaust and so now rattles. Fixing it seems almost impossible because of the limited access to it.

 Any thoughts appreciated....

 Cheers,

 Andy

Yeah, mine is also doing this. Only at certain revs though. I was thinking the baffles had gone.   :undecided:
