Bit of a strange request...

Does anyone have a picture of the heat shield on the cat, and how it attaches??

[*tell*]

i had one on a 93 k reg gti 8v and it was welded on
but rusted off  i think there just tacked on

Its held on with crimp clamps. quick fit will cut it off if you ask nicely but if your golfs anything like mine then that buzzing noise your getting around 1500-3500 grand is the heat shield around the manifold near the bulk head which is a pain in the arse to get off.

I have got rid of all the rattles. Fixed the one on the manifold with some exhaust putty.
I only ask as mine fell off the other day and wondered if it was worth putting back on, but needed to know what its supposed to look like as i was a little flat when i picked it up of the road!! lol

[bobbito]

They fall off quite often, just leave it off. Cut mine off ages ago and had no problems.

I dont have the heat sheilds, or silencers..... who needs them. Engine and straight out. lol

Ok cheers guys. I will leave it off then. HAd been told that by my mate too. But tbh i couldnt be arsed putting it back on either

Mine fell off down a quite country road - it was rattling like hell then there was a bang as it bounced off the road and hit the floor of he car. My mate said "What the hell was that!" and i told him it was just something useless falling off the car. Never replaced it so although my car is completely standard, it now goes a bit faster due to less weight. Or something like that...

That heat shield is usefull if you park on grass or anything like that..   Its been known for a hot cat to light grass under it causing the car to burn to the ground.
