Removed my pre-cat this morning, let’s just say yeah it’s a easy job on paper
But if anything goes wrong which it has for me! Then the job can quickly escalate out of control especially when car is only on axle stands.worst nightmare as I had the stud hardest to get at snap on me 😡
Thought no problem I’ll remove downpipe & carry on & try and remove stud, nope it was stuck like a ‘mo fo’
I’ve put everything back together and everything tightened up minus the one nut, car sounds same( but deeper tone) so don’t know whether this is good enough.

Just priced studs up at VW and £1.46 inc VAT each..part nu N 044 520 3
So it’s maybe off to a local Indy & have job re done & get them to remove all studs & put new ones on turbo manifold then refit downpipe..grrrr

1K0 253 115 AB & N10286108 I believe. Please do check for yourself but I think this is right. I can dig my TPS receipt out later if you want confirmation  :happy2:
