Here is my situation;I have a 99 ph3 6, the exhaust has ALWAYS blown. I had a Magnex fitted assuming the original was just f*cked....which it was. After a month the exhaust began to blow so I had it refitted....then a month later.....etc. The exhaust has now been fitted 3 times and is yet again blowing. Looking at my engine mount there is no gap between the mount buffer and chassis so chocking it is going to be both impossible and pointless. So my options are; 1) keep having the exhaust refitted time and time again. 2) Have a flex section welded onto the join meaning my decat would have to go (because thats where it keeps seperating). 3) Ignore it 4) Try group N engine mounts Which would you choose? ________________________________________ JJBlessed are the cheesemakers...and all purveyors of dairy products.... |

I'm positive, the guy who fitted it said he couldn't tighten it up any more than it already was.Options are limited and I'm at the point where I f*cking hate my car. ________________________________________ JJBlessed are the cheesemakers...and all purveyors of dairy products.... |

I have the same problem and have fitted three fixing kits and it still bloody blows - but my CAT is fecked loads is hissing really loud and makes a really deep thwaaaaaarp sound when flooring it so my theory is this the CAT is so knackered and blocked that the gases are forcing open the spring joint as an easier way out. I will prove this once i fit a new CAT which shouldn't be to long now - i'll let you know the outcome.________________________________________ time for a new sig! |

Engine mount plate welded in and solid as a rock  Now with the plate coming right up the sides it stops the mount moving back and forth almost completely So glad thats done  ... I fear many others will go the same way around 70 - 80 K Miles.  ________________________________________ GTI-6 & RallyeRallye gets sideways in the wet at Snetterton |

Its probably the bottom mount thats the problem. Thats what was causing me loads of exhaust trouble. It had moved around and was therefore moving too much, the rubber is shaped a bit like (-) and mine was like this ( l ) so it moved too much and caused the exhaust to snap in the middle section all the time.Make sense? ________________________________________ Impreza Turbo 2000 (every day car)Peugeot 309 MI16 track car |

Maybe it was wrong from the factory but bear in mind it had done 100k when I got it so I can't believe it hadn't been a problem before, unless it went a bit softer over the time and dodn't matter previously.I know that was the problem though and putting in a new one the right way round cured it. A sure fire cure would be an uprated one that has rubber all the way round. ________________________________________ Impreza Turbo 2000 (every day car)Peugeot 309 MI16 track car |
