I’ve just booked the Golf in for its MOT and they said it’ll fail. It’s got a blow on the flexible pipe and so needs a new cat and half the exhaust replacing. They said it would be, genuine VW part <£700, pattern part <£500 or the little place across the road can cut out the pipe and replace it for £120. That’s that decided :) I fucking hate cars, not all cars.

Seem that the Flexi are common fail point on cars I've looked at.

Try and get them not to weld the Flexi in. Use a Flexi that is clamped over the old pipes either side as you will be replacing in again in a couple of years time.

Check that ta, he said the break is right on the bottom of the cat so needs a tail welding on to mount it and then clamp it on the other end. Hopefully if it goes again there will be something to fit a new one to?¿
