I parked up the car after a longish run on a very hot day. There was water dripping down the back of the headlamp cover which was odd. This seemed to be coming from the pipes which rise behind the left of the radiator and then run inside of the bodywork to the bulk head. The pipes look like a...

Hi there, I'm just in the process of buying my self an 2005 1.9 tdi 150bhp fr. I've noticed that the exhaust does'nt have the two twin tail pipes on it. Just wondering if they come as standard or can you have them taken off or can you buy them? or is it better to buy a new backbox? thanx,harj
