Title: Exhaust Problem
Post by: ptaku on 19 July 2010, 17:14
Hello,
I have problem with my exhaust in my GTI and service can't solve it. When im driving my car from 3rd till 6th gear between 2500-3000rpm I hear resonans from the back ( exnaust ) . You can hear this nois only when car is moving. Anyone know what can It be ? I'm asking because after 2 times in service still they don't know what can it be and they don't want to change muffler for new. Please help.

That seams to be a known issue in the USA IIRC.

VWNA published a TSB telling dealers to do nothing about it as it's a characteristic of the car  :shocked:

On the plus side it doesn't do with my Milltek Turbo Back Exhaust  :evil:

^^ I have already priced these up for someone else and it took me a week to drag myself up off the floor  :shocked:

I am keeping an eye out for a Mk6 with Xenons that has been rear ended and then it would be doable  :smiley:

You would be my first port of call  :smiley:

I have done the retrofit on the Mk5 a couple of times and it's a pretty straight forward job, the Mk6 is very similar and in someways easier  :smiley:

Is it that bad?
I don't have this problem. Maybe I'm not as sensitive, though I doubt it.

If it's the rear camera, I'm not jealous or interested. It can only be the GTi badges Madge! Not so sure on a red car though they look nice on Ess_Three's. I'll pass on that for the present. QED.

I have heard that if you change the down pipe this will make that noise go away.
