simple check to do is cover the ends of the exhaust up with your hands with something over them and listen for anything that sounds like blowing or jack the car up and look on the exhaust for any black soot like marks on it as that will be the sighn u have a prob
hey Mat bout the soot like marks...do you mean at the exhaust tips? if so,what probs are we talkin bout here?

Hi Hafiz.  :happy2:

What he means is. if the exhaust has a hole in it somewhere then you may be able to see soot marks where the hole is similar to the soot that you see at the tips.  :smiley:

If you have any other questions dont be afraid to post them up in the Mk 5 general section, you will get a lot more answers there.  :smiley:

The soot marks show where the leak is.
No Golf anymore. 
Enjoyed the last five years of ownership of Mk5 & 6 GTIs.
Plus an excellent forum for knowledge and new ways to deplete the bank account.
Thank You Everyone.
