exhaust flexi neck .

[Sunny43.5]

Started to hear a strange noise the other day from the engine bay of my faithfull 2.0 petrol T5 work van , as the days went on it got more disconcerting and started to hope it wasn't something terminal . Finally after looking in the engine bay a few times decided a more thorough investigation was needed as I could not see anything out of order . Ran the van up on my ramps and crawled underneath , still could not see anything obvious but figured at least it was some sort of exhaust noise . Finally wearing some leather gloves I grabbed the cat converter and gave it a yank , the noise changed and then I realised the flexi neck had or was disintegrating . So rang VW for new part $600 ouch ! then rang my previous cat converter specialist magician and he fitted dual flexi necks for $240 all up . Got to love guys who go the extra mile when OEM parts are stupidly priced .
