Floor pan getting VERY hot from Exhaust
is it common for the floor pan (mainly by the seat runners/hand brake) to get VERY hot from the exhaust? :dontknow:

Check your heat shields still intact!
LOL, maybe you need to do a spacewalk and check the foam tiles.

Heat shield? What heat shield… :roll:
I'm pretty positive I don't have one. Would a "driver" have had one fitted as standard or was it just the Gti's?

there's a heat shield by the fuel tank, rubber gear linkage boot, gear linkage support bracket/mount thingy and the obvious at the front.. just seems the rest of the area is a bit exposed :dontknow:

phil is the centre bit of exhaust lined up m8? turning it left to right will move it to and from body, are all the rubbers on your exhaust etc? the only important heatshield is one on tank,
good luck chap,

if the exhaust is rattling against the heatshield I suspect it's not in the right position (exhaust and/or heatshield).. have you tried bending the shield away?

yep bent it, pulled it, hammerd…still rattles…i just turn the music up so i cant hear it…
yep exhaust it tight as, doesnt move about alot and is std(i think) where it meats the heat sheild.
