Snapped Exhaust
« on: 12 May 2013, 13:15 »
Hi all,
The mk4 started "making a bit of a noise" according to my wife last night on her way home, after a jacking up and inspection this morning I found the problem

My question is, what is my cheapest option here as I am skint lol
But I do want a permanent fix  :smiley:
Cheers for any help

Easy. Awkward, but do able. Raise it up on axle stands and wear googles and you'll be fine!

They can be a b!tch but keep at it. Give them a real good soak in WD40 first!! You do not want to go shearing one - Like I did  :lipsrsealed:
