Exhaust Trim

[nokiauk]

Came across this browsing the Octavia parts catalogue, same part is also in the Superb catalogue.

Item is FDC 610 001 and is a chrome exhaust trim for the 1.4 TSI Octavia and Superb I wonder is this part would also fit the exhaust on the 1.4 TSI Golfs?

hi i measured the size of my exhaust tails ,had a look on ebay and i found s/s tail pipe trims for my gt 140 tdi,they are genuine audi ones so they look as good as the standard ones they fit on the gti
this is the only place i could find any that looked as standard
regards les

[nokiauk]

Thanks, any idea who the seller was so I can find the correct ones?

hi the best way is get the size of your exhaust first as the audi ones i got will be a lot bigger than yours ,and just have a search about but look for the stainless steel ones. the seller i got mine from was staffordaudipartshttp://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/s.gif

[nokiauk]

thanks will measure tonight, any reason why yours should be a different size though?

take it they just slide on and and hold via a screw?

£55 plus p&p - that's a bit steep for a bit of chrome!

[netherfield]

Certainly is.

Well I measured my pipes and a colleagues and although mine is a Petrol GT and hers a Diesel they both measured the same which was 60mm.

Found 2 on ebay are these similar to the ones you ordered?

Have a look at the following link which is VW Germany's Accessory list for the new Golf. The pictures show Golf V but I assume they are the same diameter on VI

Good luck with your German!

[nokiauk]

Thanks these appear to be actual exhausts and not trim pieces esp at that price.

Hi mate,

Have you fitted these yet? If not could you keep updated as I will be ordering some even though not getting my GT untill september.

I know its only minor mod but it really bugs me because it makes such a difference! So are they basically the tips that come on the new s-lines? Also just a thought what about the tips that come with the new GTD would they be available from vw or is the exhaust completely different on that?

[nokiauk]

Not fitted them yet as I need to collect from Royal Mail tomorrow.

Hopefully they will fit ok.

I presume they are the same as the Audi S-Line but not sure.

The GTD does have chrome exhausts but whether they are added tips or a different exhaust then I'm not sure.

VW don't list tips as an accessory although Skoda do for the Octavia/Superb.

[nokiauk]

Well they never fitted they are 10mm too big!!, wonder if VW have changed their exhaust sizes recently as 1 member on here ordered the same and they fitted. Back to the drawing board it seems.

[gazz01]

hi mate, iv"e got a golf mk6 1.4 tsi (122) .i"m sure its the same backbox as yours. like yourself i ordered from stafford audi a pair of twin pipes for the A3 and you can make them fit by bending the four spring grips downward and wedgeing something (i used stiff foam ) or cardboard under each one.it makes a tight fit when you slide it over the original pipe. at £55 i was determined they were gonna fit(lol) and upto now there still on and look great. it"s worth a try good luck.

[nokiauk]

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately I have already posted them back to Stafford Audi, good tip for anyone else though.

[james_tiger_woo]

Anyone got some confirmed as fitted on their Golf as I think I want to do this as the exhaust seems lacking in something (GT TDi)

[nokiauk]

I've ended up going the custom route and spoke to an exhaust manufacturer who is going to make some polished stainless tips made to fit, they will just slide over the originals and be tacked on at the back to secure them. I've gone for rolled in edges for a more OEM look. Pipes will end up as 2 x 2.5" and look similar to this:

Looks good - how much? And any chance on a group buy? :)

I second this as this is the only thing I want to change on the GT!!

Ok, so the Audi one is too big, what about the Skoda one??

[nokiauk]

Skoda one is too small exhaust on the Superb/Octavia is 50mm.

[nokiauk]

They will cost £20 each plus VAT. A group buy could be explored, once they have fitted mine and presuming all GT's are the same whether petrol or diesel I could ask how much cheaper they could if there was enough interest for a batch of say 10 people.

Also P&P to consider to protect the tubing. Also any potential buyers would then need to arrange their own welding to secure them to the back box.

[s liner]

Skoda one is too small exhaust on the Superb/Octavia is 50mm.

So Skoda = 50mm
Audi = 70mm
VW = 60mm

I'm still thinking about the ones the GTD has as standard. If these fit then surely can be purchased from VW not as an accessory but spare part??

[nokiauk]

it's very possible but it may also come as a complete back box,which would prob cost about £150.

[SebbyMK6]

I'm going to hold off until VW's new accessories catalogue is available, not to mention that I don't even have my mk6 yet! :)

No point VW will not be producing trims as per this reply from VW:

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your recent query, unfortunatly Volkswagen do not use
stainless steel exhaust tips as the exhaust are now well finished on
vehicles and we do not feel the need to manufacture such a part.

[SebbyMK6]

Ah. I'd like to see exhaust tips that they think aren't well finished. I mean, there's nothing wrong with the MK6 tips, but they're not particularly shiny.

[p3asa]

Hi Nokiauk how did you get on with your pipes, you get them sorted?
My GT will be diesel, did you not say in an earlier post you measured yours and a colleagues diesel and they were both the same? As I am interested in a possible group buy.

[nokiauk]

I'm not getting mine done until Friday, once I'm there I will investigate with the company whether they would be willing to supply tips made to the same measurements as mine for a discounted price, once I was able to get some confirmed orders.

I would then have to investigate P&P costs or could see the the company would be willing to post.

My colleagues car is a diesel and did have the same size pipes but there is at least one diesel MK6 on this forum that seems to have 70mm pipes, be best to measure yours just in case.

Bear in mind that even if I can get tips supplied you will still have to arrange some welding to get them secured.

[p3asa]

Ok thanks. Unfortunately my car hasn't arrived yet to measure.

Steven.

[s liner]

Thanks also! Fingers crossed mine will be 70mm then the Audi one will be getting ordered!

Another thought if it is 60mm, what about the mk5 GT sport as the 170 version of this comes with tips, 140 doesnt so surely these just are a bolt-on?

[nokiauk]

Well got mine fitted this morning, asked about bulk supply but was told as they are a small local firm they didn't want to really get involved, they also said as they went made and fitted to my requirements and my car, an off the shelf build for many cars isn't something they recommended.

Anyway some pics:

[p3asa]

They look fantastic. Were they 60mm in diamater?
Was it a tight fit when you slipped them over your exhaust?

Steven.

[nokiauk]

They are 61mm internal so as to fit over the existing pipes, but are 2.5" (63.5mm) external, not really a tight fit but as they are welded on from the back doesn't matter too much.

[SebbyMK6]

Very nice! Are they any longer than the actual tailpipes?

[nokiauk]

A bit but that was down to personal choice

[Phil MK6 GT]

People,

If any of you are still after chrome exhaust tips for the MK6 GT, i got some at skoda today after searching around audi and seat and having no luck! They are a direct fit from the skoda YETI!!! but they fit spot on and only cost £26. They are easy to fit and make it look awesome! I can get the part number if needed

[Keithuk]

Also just a thought what about the tips that come with the new GTD would they be available from vw or is the exhaust completely different on that?

The chrome tips on a GTD aren't seperate they are welded on so they are part of the rear box, VW price £324 1K5 253 609 BL/BP/CB/N. ;)

You any links to what they look like?
I bought a couple off eBay (I should have known better) anyway they have started to rust and look terrible.

I came across this thread (http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=277549) which looks interesting.

[bakwa1]

I went to Skoda this morning, very helpful bunch.
They did not have any in stock, but after measuring the Yeti and my GT they confirmed the exhaust trim will fit.
So I have order them, they will have them for me to collect on Saturday.

[Chris-h]

I would be interested to hear how you get on with fitting them and maybe you could post a pic. Good luck

[Gilesme]

I looked at fitting these to my Yeti, however it required a section of exhaust to be removed first.

Interested to see how easy they are to fit.

[dmw76]

Ordered the trims from skoda this afternoon pick up tuesday. Hopefully they are easy to fit. Do u think they will just slide over and clamp somehow??

[Gilesme]

I ordered the trims for myself to fit after collection.

The guy on the service department told me I'd have to remove some of the exhaust to fit, at this point I bottled out ! (Yeti has quite a nice twin exhaust as is, even though only a 1.2....).

I don't think they fit by u-bolt clamp or something similar.

As not for a golf, they may fit easier ?

Why not ring the dealer and ask ?

[bakwa1]

Well I collect the Exhaust Trim from Skoda this morning.
I have fitted them which took at matter to 15mins, not long at all. However I did not do as per the instruction because they want you to you cut off the tips of the exhaust and I am not happy do thing that.

However I have attached a picture. They look good and well cool. I can't believe VW does not fit these as standard, as they are being made for the VAG group already.

[Vincent Vega]

That looks really good! So much better than the factory look.

(BTW, there's a typo in your signature: "Parking Sensiors")

[Gilesme]

They look very smart.

I wonder if they'd be a straight fit on the Yeti, instead of cutting.... might order myself a set !

[dmw76]

How do they attach? Picking mine up Tuesday.Do they clamp on somehow?Why do skoda recommend cutting the exhaust is it just the length?

[Chris-h]

Bakwa they look really good - well done. - and thanks for the pic

[bakwa1]

They fit on with 4 internal clamps, which are all equal length from the rear of the trim. That is why that suggest cutting the exhaust to remove the tapered part to made it straight.

I forced the exhaust trim past these to almost fit flush with the exhaust pipe. I have attached a close up picture you can just see the end of pipe.

So attached picture of the instruction leaflet, so you can see for yourselves.

They are a very tight fit and will not come off. So overall I am very happy with them.

[dmw76]

Fitted mine today. They look good should of been like that as standard. As said above didnt cut the exhaust as skoda suggest just eased the retaining clamps past until they felt secure enough, will post some picks tommorow.

I see they show a Sport Styling Kit (http://www.vw.com/vwfeatures/golf/en/us/) on the US Golf after you build it which has a front spoiler, side sill extensions and twin exhaust tip. ;)

Got mine and fitted them a couple of days ago - very pleased :D

Now I have my new Golf, I have ordered these exhaust tips from Skoda, they really do look so much better than the standard twin pipes. They should be in stock by next week and I look forward to fitting them asap.

[Toadoftoadhall2]

I collected and fitted my exhaust trims today. Really pleased, looks so much better. I did a series of photos and some notes in case it helped anyone who may have been considering this also.
Small photos in 3 zip files and notes in the short word document with my findings - having fitted them today. Hope they may be useful. The notes make reference to the numbered photos - 14 in all, so it may be best to view the photos alongside the notes. (I had to break down the file sizes to get them to upload)

well i've read the thread and i'm not sure what the part number is for my car,1.4 tsi 160hp, does anyone have the part number?

[Keithuk]

well i've read the thread and i'm not sure what the part number is for my car,1.4 tsi 160hp, does anyone have the part number?
Does the 1.4 TSI 160PS have a single or twin tail pipe as standard?

Well I don't need any but reading the spec here it appears to be 60-61mm

VW GOLF MK2 MK3 MK4 3 4 5 TAIL PIPE EXHAUST TRIM TIP (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-MK2-MK3-MK4-3-4-5-TAIL-PIPE-EXHAUST-TRIM-TIP-/150493776930?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item230a20cc22)

It appears the Audi A3 have chrome tail pipe that should fit. They do a single pipe trim for exhaust tail pipe - 8P0 071 771 - £32.

And a twin pipe trim for exhaust tail pipe twin pack - 8P0 071 761 - £56. ;)

[Toadoftoadhall2]

well i've read the thread and i'm not sure what the part number is for my car,1.4 tsi 160hp, does anyone have the part number?

5L0 071 910 is the skoda part number for the twin pipe exhaust trims as featured in my recent post with fitting photos and notes - and they are the same for the GT 1.4 TSI 160 , earlier in this post there are also photos of these fitted to your model. (see page 5 and 6 of this thread for the posts by member Bakwa1) ..........Price £25.54 inc vat ...well worth it.

[p3asa]

Are they likely to rust at all?

I bought a couple of trims from ebay, granted they were cheap but after a few months they have rusted despite sealing them regularly when washing the car.

[Toadoftoadhall2]

Are they likely to rust at all?

Good question...the skoda ones certainly seem very good quality. There are no care instructions or product info on the leaflet that came with them. Time will tell I guess.
Some members will have had theirs fitted for some months now, can anyone update on how they are doing?

[Keithuk]

Are they likely to rust at all?
Obviously the dearer ones are made from stainless steel whereas the cheaper eBay ones are probably just cheap chrome plating. You pays you money and you take a chance.

I had the original chrome tail pipes on my Rover 216 GTi and I had that 16 years and the chrome was still perfect. The only problem was the captive nut that secured it that came loose so I tacked a couple of ordinary 8mm nuts on and coated them with my special exhaust lubricate, they always came undone afterwards. ;)

Yeah which is my point exactly as the Skoda ones are relatively cheap!

Yeah they are £25 but that is for a twin set so £12 per trim is cheap.

[Toadoftoadhall2]

No prob Ollli, glad to help.

[normski-foad]

Just fitted the Yeti tips to the mrs "new" 60 plate 2.0 GT TDi. Talk about spot on!

It took literally 2 minutes using just a rubber headed mallet (no wood) and very, very gentle tapping, without cutting the existing pipes to vertical.

The slant on the pipes isn't perpendicular it's slightly offset and with the tips rotated slightly to line up, the existing pipe comes up flush with the lip of the tips and looks superb.

Although the tips fit so tight it's almost impossible to rotate them whilst fully on, they can be tapped back towards and rotated to perfection whilst tapping. Also they are easy to remove completely with gentle tapping if you want to replace them or give them a good polish.

£27...bargain.

[Gerryf]

They do look very smart and sporty :)....enjoy your new and improved GT

[ollli]

well had my yeti tips
on my golf for a while through all weathers and still like new when i clean e'm
