Help please with a pipe

[Dubstable]

Hi

I have today finally got round to replacing the pipe that goes from the pancake pipe to the solid metal pipe at the rear of the engine on my car as it was leaking. The car is a Golf 1.8T AUM and the pipe has a jubilee clip on the pancake pipe end and a metal horseshoe type clip on the other. The problem is when I took it out for a test drive the pipe blew off from the horseshoe clip end. I have had a look at it and obviously put it back wrong (just clipped it back in making sure the clip located in the slots on either side of the metal pipe. I have found two lugs sticking out and have managed to get one of the bent up ends of the clip in between them and then clipped it back in to the slots, is this right as I can't see any other way of fitting it and I don't want to have the thing blow off again as it scared the crap out of me and I lost power . Any help would be appreciated, sorry if my description is not very good but hopefully someone will know what I'm talking about. Sorry I have posted this in the wrong section, not having a good day 

Cheers

It sounds like the way you've done it now is correct. One hook between the pegs and the other end snaps round - locking the lugs in the metal sleeve. I always struggle to get them on first time too without nipping my fingers

Fantastic, thanks for the reply mate. I will take it out for a drive later. At least I can relax a bit now and enjoy my Sunday morning shoot 

Cheers

Not nice losing power..   If it pops off again your more than welcome to pop up to us and we will take a look at it for you.

Cheers Nick. You did kindly offer to do it before as it was you guys that found it was leaking slightly when you re mapped it. I think it's ok now as it was pulling really well and goes like a little missile, still really pleased with it as you can tell
I have a feeling it will be back to you guys for some more bits in time for the summer though 

Thanks again
