Wheel hop crazy - front left
SteveS:
OK, so an independent garage where i work did me a favor and took a look.
Its the exhaust... Miltec 3", where the cat is, its hitting down just behind where that bracked with those two red bits are. Can see the marks on the cat!!
I have contacted VWR, told them, im calling back next wednesday... and then booking it in... im guessing the shape of the bend isnt right... :fighting:
Although thats the noise, why its moving around makes me think its down to hop, causing it to travel up and down...

....Ah yes! I know this problem (or similar). It's why Milltek included a free torque arm insert in their new systems. They have probably revised the fixings too. However, a lower engine mount should have helped but it may have been on the way out before installation.
It's not so much the exhaust itself but the jolting from the extra power it's being subjected to on a remapped car.
SteveS:
Even worse! its a known issue and VWR still didnt even check it obviously.
Had a good look under it, why its designed so close to the left\bottom side wall is very odd. there is masses of space to the right and up!
MAT ED30:
Should have gone blueflame :booty: :signLOL: let's hope it gets sorted mate
Saint Steve:
I'd ask the previous keeper of the vehicle where he got the exhaust from.Doubt it's the shape of the bend.
Was the exhaust a 2nd hander, supplied by vwr? Or do you have a receipt where it came from originally?
