lupo_gaz Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 i've got a gti and at the moment when you put any power down it is sounding like a old beetle. i've had a look at the exhaust the best i can up to the cat and where it goes in the plastic under tray but can't see if it is blowing anywhere. has anyone had a simular thing and could help fixing this because it sounds real nastie and if exhaust i don't think it will be on the warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrat Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 hmmm, i wouldnt have thought the zorst would have a hole in it just yet, have you checked the gasket between the manifold and downpipe (just before the precat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliveski Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Sounds a little bit like what happened to my sport when one of the rollers that the timing belt ran on began to break up . . . I thought it was the exhaust at first as it sounded like it was breathing heavily / wheezing.Have a look under the bonnet and listen next to the black cover that hides the belt (stuck on left hand side of engine).If it is that - don't drive it !No damage will be caused unless the belt breaks but you will need to have the timing belt / tensioner / rollers replaced - cost me £360 at VW.Hope it isn't that !
