Re: Strange Rattle in my GTI (blackrider)
It will get worse. The hanger at the front of the muffler came undone. When they get older the suitcase muffler pulls on them and sucks it out of the hanger. Just jack your car up look at the exaust right by the back wheel. You will see where it is disconnected. I just fixed this problem by pulling out the suitcase muffler and stuck the hanger back on. It will start rattling in the morning when the car warms up and rattle worse until the exaust gets hot, if you let it go for a while.
