A lil exhaust help......?
« on: 15 January 2011, 20:53 »
Firstly, what a pig to work on, the mk3 system with its weird back boxes, off to the side and over rear beam!!!

So winters wrecked my exhaust, got new one and everythings off apart from the outer sleeve from the middle box onto centre section. Bout 6-7 inches of it.

Ive prysed, hammered, soaked in wd and it just wont budge! Any sugestions on how to get it shifted?

Many thanks in advance guys

Next stop a spot of heat I'd say.
