Title: squeek
Post by: stevesdub on 28 January 2012, 11:29

do any of you play the weekly game of guess the squeek??

last week was spent poking behind the dash to stop rattles n squeeks....this week my exhuast has decided to start rattling....got a feeling it could be the cat :angry

so how much time do you spend chasing noises??

incidently, the other half mk5 dont make any noise... :rolleyes:

Are you lowered? Got a feeling my car is slowly shaking itself to fall apart  :grin:

Have you checked the cat heat shield? Mine was bent up a bit and was touching the cat and used to rattle against it at low revs and pulling away etc..
