Snapped chassis?

Post by LawrenceDGraham »

Right this is a follow up from mY last post ive had a knock for ages and was washing the car today a d when pulled her off the drive there was the knock loud as f**k so pulled it back on the drive went inside and went on the net. And saw the engine mounts are common so went outside and had a look and saw this Monster

There have been quite a few that have gone like that.

Take it to vw and they should sort it.

They shouldn't be too bad it must have been noted somewhere that this isn't the first case.

The only thing id put back would be the stock suspension, the other bits shouldn't affect your warranty.

And to be fair that's a structural defect in manufacturing so it wouldn't take much to get them to sort it.

Oh - not exactly what you expect to find on a modern car, very much "not good"!

I wouldn't bother about the remap, but definitely back to stock suspension and exhaust.
Either of those visible mods may give them reason to say the chassis has been put under pressure 'beyond normal tolerances', or some such crap.

Could your recent accident have caused this? Any other damage apart from the front bumper?

No I've been going on about a knock for at least 6 months it's just got louder over time and boom today it snapped completely when pulling out of work so it's going too the stealers in the morning on recovery I've put the back box back in and took the coilovers out and giving it to them they won't even notice the map can't get the Polly Bush gearbox mount back out tho but it's not visable.
My crash only did bumper damage nothing past the bumper at all.
