Replacing exhaust system components (VW Golf 2)

Removal and installation of the exhaust system (see figure 158) exhaust gases should not cause any difficulties. You just need to pay attention to the following:

Always replace the gasket between the manifold and the downpipe.
When installing the exhaust pipe, the nuts must be tightened to a torque of 25 Nm.
Tighten the clamp bolts and nuts to a torque of 25 Nm.
When installing the front and rear mufflers, install their rubber hangers without tension. If the hangers are stretched too much, you can bend the hooks on the exhaust pipe or muffler. Start the engine and check at idle speed that none of the system elements hit the body or other units.
