squeeking/loose noise??

[J 5EDN]

Hi, this is my first post as i am new to the forum. I have just treated myself to a mk4 1.8t golf on a 02 plate. just looking for a bit of advice as i have an annoying squeeky or as if something is loose kinda sound coming from the underneath of the the car. the noise usually appears on a rough road or going over bumps. just wondering if anyone has experienced this before or knows what could be the cause? Thanks jim.

I've got same problem, the weld has broken on the bracket that attaches to the exhaust (in the middle of the car).

My 2 cents!

[jtomlin]

i changed the exhaust to a milltek (didnt change the brackets) and the squeeking stopped

Hey thanks for that lads really appreciate the help. Goin too get it on some ramps i think and have a good look round it. Well happy with the car but little things like this bug me . Already fitted a k&n induction kit and thinkin of A RE-MAP and a powerflow cat back system. any info on whether this is a good or bad idea would be good?? Thanks again Jim
