All you need to do now Rich is cover your car in grease and never use your aircon and it'll be super efficient :laugh:

Snoopy:
Mine rare gets used from November till March. The winter cheap runabout comes out then.
the bruce:
Guess the Golf Variant has the same tube routing as the Skoda Octavia
and that is different to GTI.
Why is exhaust tubing so (soot) black on the underside?
Richn83:
Cheers Baz I think it will fit just a little too close to the exhaust (as in touching) I should really just go and invest in the correct part but since I have it.... one thing that has been bothering me is the clips the screw into the screw thread on the subframe mount, they look like they should have a proper metal nut in them but if they do mine have gone awol.
Not sure why its so black bruce, after very short start up a good deal of water collects there on the pipe, the whole area around the rear wheels is terribly rusty (bet it makes snoopy cringe and glad he has waxoyl all over the place) so I dont think it ever got rinsed off in winter despite all the salt we have on our rounds here in the UK is rock salt and horrible to metals. By the looks of the rear of the exhaust it wont be lasting long :sad1:
It could be I need to adjust the exhaust but without being home and axle stands its difficult to do in my flat car park.
