1.9 TDI ATD Engine Feb 2002 Bora.

Ok so I must have hit something when driving and it put a small hole in the exhaust. Within a few days the exhaust split in two so now i've got the bery loud hummmmmmmmmm!!

I took it to an exhaust garage where a mate works and he said that they'll only replace it. He didn't give me a price but said it'd be very expensive to replace the whole exhaust into the engine but said that where the split is, the lack of corrosian and rust, it's ideal to weld.

Took it to another mate who is a welder and he raised the car up. He's going to do it on this wednesday night 30/06/10. We've to remove the exhaust, weld it on the ground, and replace it.

Any tips on removal? We're going to weld while its on the car to get the poistion right then weld when we remove it we'll weld it completely around. The exhaust is in perfect condition expect for above. Has anyone removed and refitted the exhaust who can give some tips??

Regards,
