More than likely your middle exhaust bracket, they always snap on the MK4, it is above a crossmenmber so without a ramp it is difficult to see, It can be fixed with a large jubliee clip, but will be a damn sight easier on a ramp, Can't explain how to do it, but it will all become clear when you get under the car with a tourch
