Been plagued with this rattle for a few weeks, originaly thought it was the catalist heat sheild, but finally got it onto the ramps at work for an inspection.

Te central exhaus mount, between cat and first exhaust box appears to have broken (maybe??) there are 2 small tangs that looks like they should be welded to the main exhaust, is this a common prob as my brother-in-laws is doing the same?:confused:

Cheers

its v.common, do a search, im in the same club at the moment too.

I had my centre section replaced under warranty about 2 years ago

Ta da..

Hi

Yes it is the same as the MK4 Golfs , and these have the same problem too

You could try to weld a bracket on if you like

Would it be the same on a 2002 110 tdi as Ive got an anoying mouse somewhere under the middle of the car as well

Thank peeps:thumbup: , was thinking long the lines of a jubilee or weld up.

I would go down the Miltek route if i wasn't thinking of selling it in favour of a diesel:(

Cheers.

Mine is starting to rattle as of last week, but only for about 30 seconds after it's started from cold (when the revs drop off it stops). I haven't been under for a look, but it sounds like it's coming from the middle of the exhaust (i.e. between the driver & passenger doors).
