Richn83:
With the front silencer on I think you might struggle to fit part 3 or have to chop it away into a much smaller piece.

I fitted the tank guard but have had to cable tie it on on one side"no fixing nr the exhaust side" any way I'm obviously going to have to drill it but I found this part number on ETKA N 910 011 01 - Blind rivet stud? I think this is to be inserted in the drilled hole then using a rivet gun squash then you have the fixing you need??

Does the above sound about right?

On my 2008 GTI I did not need it.
If your GTI is older try it with drilling and insert the rivet.

mortygttdi:
Cheers Bruce stud ordered @ VW should be here Friday,

Now to sort the timing out on this engine, any one know about how to change the timing on a bkd 16valve engine :happy2:
