Ahead of the gearbox, the exhaust system is suspended on a metal bracket. Top: Bracket suspended from a rubber-metal support (1), below the desired elasticity is provided by a spiral spring (2).
Workshops prefer to change the entire exhaust system. We do not recommend doing this immediately and rashly, since all parts of the Audi exhaust system are sold separately, including the intermediate and final mufflers consisting of one part in the original system. Dismantling of a separate muffler can be carried out without much effort, first check and then replace:
Order of execution
1. Carefully tap with a hammer still serviceable parts of the exhaust system, including the end sides. Knock hard enough
2. If a ringing sound is heard with each blow, then the metal is still strong.
3. If the knock sounds duller in some places, then the outer surface has already weakened and will soon break through, especially in winter.
4. When purchasing spare parts, one must take into account the fact that gaskets and self-locking nuts must be replaced with new ones.
