Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      My MK2 does this, but it was not the engine mount. It was the downpipe joint/coupling to the manifold. I initially thought it was the engine mount and changed the front one for the Vibratech mount and it didnt help. It developed this squeak after I changed the cat back to stainless exhaust.

        interesting so it swueeks because of the engine rocking thus pulling the couling and causing stress?

        any remidy ?

          If its the standard original down pipe for RV engine than it would be the friction ring coupling p/n 161 298 115
          Better off changing the manifold and down pipe to the euro version as being discussed in the exhaust thread.

                3me is the number on the head. What engine code is it? Look on the papers.
