Exhaust woes
A little surprised that My rear box seems to have rusted through after only 2 years. The rest of the system looks sound, The strap that holds the back box has rusted through and the whole exhaust was hanging by a thread. It seems the area beneath the strap has exacerbated the rusting. Anyway looks like I'll have to bite the bullet. What price should I be looking at for a back box for a 2.0 CDT. Another blow is I have yet another water leak inside the cabin with drivers and offside passenger footwells saturated. Not a good time of year for these issues. However , I've been here before!
Happy New year to everyone! |

Why not bite the bullet and get a stainless exhaust fitted and you can then forget about it. I'm getting mine done next Wednesday morning.And guess where? Leeds 🙂

Tony Banks (Longlife) . They have an excellent reputation,many people on here have used him.He did the system on my 45 4-5 years ago and never had any problems with it.
Quote for my 75 is £299.

No problem at all,you can have faith in their quality and workmanship.I would suggest you ring them for a quote when open as they get inundated and may take a while to get back to you.Your quote may vary as mine is a 1.8T. Good luck. 🙂

I repaired my backbox a while ago and the pipe corroded elsewhere weeks later.
Trikey then recommended a whole new pipe in backbox from Klarius and it was £79+ fitting. Worth a though..... https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=310233 |
