Very interesting articles, I still need to fit part 12 in the diagram above
The clearance to the exhaust is marginal on the left rear bracket
But think if I can get it to fit (with some heat-shield) then the extra length could be worth the hassle...
Hi Rich,
That part (3C0 501 713 A) is also available on the MK6 Golf, same part number but doesn't have the suffix A, so it may be worthwhile seeing what parts are needed or available from the MK6 or how the exhaust is routed so it doesnt foul the cover?
I remember seeing it on a MK6 Golf Variant Bluemotion, but didn't pay any attention to routing of pipework etc.
Whats confusing is that on ETKA the picture is of the older part fitted to MK5's, but the part number refers to Passat (3C0), also on ETKA there are 2 part numbers: 1K0 501 713D and also 3C0 501 713 listed for Golfs and Jettas
Regards.
