Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Downpipe Stud Broken And Code Is P0420?
So I recently bought a GTI and started to fix a couple things. It has a P0420 code so I bought a new downpipe to install. Noticed the stock one was missing 1 of the nuts and the stud had broken off. How get this out? Do I need to remove the turbo? Looks like I do need to remove the turbo to use an extractor set.
View 7 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Rattling Noise - Turbo To Downpipe Flange Loose
when I bought my 2003 gti 1.8t it had a small exhaust leak, I decided to investigate today and found that the downpipe flange and turbo flange was rattling around, there's almost 1/16" of play and it's making a rattling noise. I can't tighten the nuts on the studs any more but that might just be from them being seized in place. I'm getting a new gasket and studs and nuts and hopefully that will fix it?

2003 Golf GTI Turbo... New to VW, I'm a jeep guy and bought a GTI for my wife to try rally cross in. It had some problems that I knew about when I bought it, had to replace CV shafts, control arms, fix broken trans mount, etc. I'm on to the last piece of the puzzle now.
The expansion joint on the downpipe from the turbo is basically exploded. Not a big deal, just buy a new downpipe and biky everything together right? Not so much. Bought one the other day, it showed up and has 3 bolts on turbo side, mine has 4.
When I look at the other stock turbo downpipes, it looks like they have 3 bolts as well. What's going on? Did the previous owner put a different turbo on this? I just need the damn downpipe, but can't figure out which one to order.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Scraping Noise - Downpipe Is Touching Subframe Heat Shield

My question is should i take it back and have them make some clearance or is there a quicker solution. New downpipe and subframe heat shield.
View 2 RepliesGTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Downpipe Installed / Car Started Rattle
I just installed a brand new 42DD downpipe in my car about two weeks back. About a week later, I started noticing a rattle that I hadn't heard before, coming from the undercarriage, about mid way back, where I assumed the downpipe is. I only hear the rattle at low RPMs, like 1000-1500 revs, when I pull away from a light. I can stop the rattle by giving it more gas before letting the clutch all the way out, but if it's something I can easily fix myself, I'd rather just do it.
I searched some DIYs and found this. [URL]..................................... I bought new sets of stage 1 dogbone mounts that I need to put in soon, probably next week when I'm on break, if that will remedy it.

View 7 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Grayish Smoke Coming From The Engine Bay After New Downpipe Install
So I recently purchased a used Megan Racing 2.5" downpipe off a fellow Vortexer. Today I installed the downpipe and straight race pipe. After installing, my brother and I noticed a grayish smoke coming from the engine bay. Further looking revealed the smoke seems to be coming from the flex pipe mesh on the downpipe. What could be causing this??
Downpipe does not have a lot of mileage. No leaks. Brand new VW gasket was installed between the turbo and downpipe. Smell of smoke does not seem to be oil burning - seems more like a metal/gasket burning smell. Grayish color from what we could tell at night. Turbo still spools. No lights on dash.

2010 Golf 2.5 with non-MF steering wheel. I bought a MF steering wheel with module, wiring etc. I finally decided to do the swap today. I can't even take the airbag off!
I disconnect the battery, turn the wheel 90 degrees left, use a small mirror to see the tab behind and insert a flat screwdriver and pry it towards the center.
It does not pop out.. I pull the airbag little bit, it does not clear. When I remove the screwdriver, the hook sits back on the tab again..
I've tried on both sides for almost an hour and the goddamn airbag is still there...
