I'm wondering if my noises are coming from my exhaust mounting brackets. My suspension does not squeak or clunk, but when I drive normally I get

some squeaking noises (only heard with the window down though). The radiator seems fine, so I think it's a trip to the exhaust place this afternoon to get them to have a looksie underneath.

Right I weas right the squeaking I was hearing (siounded like it was coming from the front suspension) was indeed the exhaust. The middle mounting bracket's weld had broken, according to my local exhaust chap he's seen this a few times on Audis and VWs. So he mad a new bracket out of the old one and a U-bolt,

wwwwooooo spooky,drove down our cul de sac tonight ,10 mph window down ,kinda cooling th car down.i swear i could here something from the FRHS,alarm bells kicked in ,wheel bearing cv boot.best get the old girl up on the ramps :(

Yup that's where mine sounded like it was coming from. Apparently it is a common problem.

It is a common problem, also effects MK4 Golf, Audi A3's, Leons etc.

Mounting can be repaired as descibed above, usually fixed with a new centre section though.

It's just the bracket, that was the problem. Mr Exhaust man said the rest looked fine.
