VR Manifold and Cat question

[Fanjita 1]

Hi all, quick question for you.

 

i didnt remove this part so im not sure, but the 3 bolt triangular connection between the mani and cat, does that have a gasket?

 

i've fitted a new 6-branch and de-cat, but i didnt see one from before and didnt fit one!! im hearing a squeak when the car goes over small bumps, reckon that might be why?

When I replaced my cat there was a gasket, blew like buggery when I put the old one back on :shock:

Got a new one from VW for pennies, didn't make a noise after that

It has a gasket there because you cannot use firegum before the cat apparently but as your decat you could use gasket gew. The gew damages the cat. Probably cheeper to just get a gasket.

Sorry Chris don't have part number or price, but it wasn't much.

Sent you a cheque yesterday for ABS ECU, did you get it yet?

its just a single wide aperture gasket right?

 

i asked parts at vw a few days ago and they said it consists of 2 gaskets!! i think theyre barking up the wrong tree!!
