Hello!

Im currently at the middle of my tether but fast approaching its end.In fact,by the end of the week I may have had to start a new one.Not good!

This is due to my exhaust problem

OK,where the right hand downpipe connects to the centre section is "that" flange.I have removed the old 6mm Audi bolts and replaced with stainless 10mm ones.I use sealing compound around the carbon ring,which sits in between the mating sections,ooer.

Anyway,after a day or so,its flippin blowing!Its doing my swede right in it is.

Why is it doing this to me?Sniff!The cars a beauty apart from this

The Audi parts are m8 x 42 bolt, with an m8 self locking nut. You could try fitting another nut to lock yours in place, if there is enough thread left?
