stupid engine mounts.

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.

cool i have the 3me but i would think that uses the same manifold

Im pretty sure its a different exhaust manifold and downpipe. The standard RV engines got bottle necked
