jus fitted strut brace but now the engines seems louder..theres alot of vibebration inside the car,
is this normal??
quick replys wanted as i need to go out and not sure whether its okay?
is it jus vibebrating because the strut brace is touching the top of engine?
any ideas?
no, sounds like the engine is touching it
what should i do??
ollyhewit said it should fit mine..cant make out why it would touch engine??
what engine have you got - post a pic of how its fitted in the bay
its a 1.6 16v
havent got a cam handy to get a pic
the arrow is what its touching :
anyone??
can u use some washers on the mounting points to raise it a few mill ?
im guessing its the wrong one for your engine then
not too sure what to do..
it only seems louder in the car, outside the car sounds normal
ollyhewit said on post that its quoted to fit all mk3 engines.. its a omp one if that helps.

couldnt use washers
went to mate at garage and hes cutting some off the inlet manifold so that theres nothing for it to catch on tomoro. so for time being i have took it off, it wasnt ment for my car either..but mates gonna make it fit.
you wont notice that the inlet manifold has been cut tho when its finished
thanks for replys
those inlet manifolds arent that thickcouldnt use washers

its only catching on the left hand side..its slightly higher than the rest of the inlet for some reason. so will be easy enough to do
you prob got it the wrong way wrong lol...
And no, I didnt think they were generic either.... Its prob for a gsi with an XE
which ever its ment for it should fit fine tomoro
will get pic up when done
mate took a pic for me while up garage.
as you can see some of the inlet manifold had to go. the corner that we cut off was making the strut sit too high making the bonnet not close properly and also causing vibebration,
i know it doesnt look as good at mo but im sourcing a second hand inlet so what im gonna do is shape/smooth it so that it jus looks like the inlet manifold is a different shape and not that its had a corner cut off lmao
am pleased with it however.. at least it doesnt vibebrate the whole car now
will get pics sorted when ive shaped new inlet
