Post by: xxx4xyz on 21 May 2003, 20:13

Hi! Mk 2 Golf GTi 8V has large big bore exhaust fitted to it, and the weight of it is catching on the rear wheel arm thingy... and results in bang thud bang thud  any ideas? Has anyone had this problem before??? Also.... the heat shield on my manifold has started to disintigrate = rattles and vibrations from the rest of it that is still attached any suggestions?? Not to hot on DIY mechanics etc...so please reply in basic terminology! thanks  :-/

I was right about the rear beam then? ;)
Give C&R Enterprises in Notingham a ring, they do uprated exhaust rubbers for heavy, non-standard exhausts.
As for the heat shield just order a new one from VW, I'm kicking myself because i saw some in an auto jumble at GTI inters for ?10 new, but did'nt get one-DOH! :)
