Title: Exhaust hangers, which ones to stop the exhaust hitting the rear beam?
Post by: Llewellyn on 15 April 2008, 22:37

Current the golf has the o ring type, but they dont hold the exhaust high enough up, so you get the pipe banging on the rear beam.

What ones do i want?

cheers guys

To be honest just lining it up properly using the pit will be fine. It's such a mission trying to align an exhaust whilst lay on your back with no room to lever the thing  :sad:

ps. You have my old car!  :smiley:

There's a few sellers doing powerflex ones on ebay if you dont get VAG ones.

Won't they risk falling off if the exhaust bounces upwards??

I think they're all a bugger at snapping. I always carry spares, it's the O ring ones i find the weakest. You could always double up on some of them? :smiley:
