Title: Exhaust hanger problems
Post by: nathanpotato on 15 June 2011, 15:48

Hi I bought a system like this that was off a 16v gti to fit to my 1.6 cl. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOLF-MK3-EXHAUST-SCORPION-2-0-GTI-8V-16V-VR6-SVW010S-/330546755235?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cf61f36a3#ht_6155wt_905&clk_rvr_id=240633342176

However I have a problem in that on the middle box of the new system the exhaust hangers go horizontally across the middle box whereas on my car I have one rubber bracket thingy by where the middle box  would be however it’s in the completely wrong direction.

Any idea what sort of rubber bracket thing I would need to fit the new middle box? Sorry if I haven’t explained it very well I can get pictures of the actual hangers if needed. Thanks

here you go mate does this look like it shouldbe there?
the strait bar in the bottom of the rubber on there is the brocken off bracket from the exhaust by the looks of it and they have left it in.
