Exhaust System Overviews: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Volkswagen GTI and 2008 Volkswagen GTI. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The coupling element in the front exhaust pipe must not be bent more than 10°, otherwise it may be damaged.
Replace gaskets and self-locking nuts.
After exhaust system repairs, make sure the exhaust system is not under stress and is far enough from the body. If necessary, loosen the clamping sleeve and align the muffler and exhaust pipe so that there is adequate distance to the body and that the weight is evenly distributed among the suspended mounts.
The exhaust manifold and turbocharger are one component. For information on removing and installing, refer to TURBOCHARGER .
