Title: need advice: exhaust leak / engine vibration
Post by: wintaborn on 29 April 2006, 12:45

Folks,

I have a1995  8V GTI.  The engine is running stong, but has a noticeable vibration at idle (900 rpm). The plugs looks good...any other possibilities?

Also, the VW 165 Km inspection found a small hole in the exhaust system.  They say I need to replace the entire system.  I think there must be a way to patch the hole...any suggestions?  I would replace with an aftermarket exhaust system, but it would need to be quiet, as I am often on the phone for business on the highway, also I dont want it to be too loud on long trips going 180km/h on the autobahn.  Are there any product suggestions?

Thanks for your input,

Tim
