Whats Missing??????????????????

I arrived home last night and heard the tones of a blowing exhaust. Bas$%rd, the blow sounded to be coming from under the drivers seat, The CAT i think?. I have looked and found what looks to be a missing bolt, there is no sign of the usual rotting. When I cover the hole all is cured.

So what do you think is missing>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Is the heat shield still attached to the bottom of the CAT?

Its fine, a blob of weld will do.

Happened to me, its there for a some sort of sensor that wasn't ever fitted. I think the bolts do eventually rot away. Awesome Gti welded mine at a regular service about a year ago and the car is still hunky dorey on the same exhaust.

bet you feel better now!

Thanks for that chaps, yes the heat shield is fine and the hole is on the drivers side of the CAT. I did think I had lost a sensor but it appears that is a regular problem so I will get it blocked. Thanks again, PS too strapped to buy a CAT back but it was worth the suggestion.

The same happened to me, but i drove around for 2 months before doing anything. It ruined my cat so i got a sports cat & ss exhaust, now sounds mental!
