Backbox heat shield query
« on: 16 December 2012, 19:37 »
Hi Gentlemen,

I've just taken off the exhaust heat shield - The clips had corroded and it was catching against the road.

My question: is it safe to drive for prolonged periods of time without the heat shield? The back box is about 4-6 inches away from the petrol tank... The petrol tank is made from plastic.

Is this going to cause problems. If so where can I buy the clips from? Volkswagen?

All the best
