You need to change the exhaust back to the old one before you take it to the dealers, they WILL notice!

You could change backbox to standard just for taking it back in?! Then change it back.

Wouldnt really worry about changing the exhaust back over due to this being a wear and tear item. Just take it back and get them to look at it.

yeah thats what i was thinkin because it says its not covered under warranty anyways so why would it matter but the only problem is the garage where i got my powerflow done kept my exhaust or sold it on ebay there's no way they still got it :((

Dont worry about it then, Im sure the dealer you purchased the car from will be fine about it. Anyway you can point it out that its not covered.

I think my power steering pump is on its way out to be honest.
Any know if the pumps are easy to change? I'm guessing it can't be that hard?

They will not void the warranty for power steering because of a non standard backbox. Mods will only void aspects of a warranty that they can be linked to.

probably the pump! Check first though to make sure that it's not just the belt that's come loose. I've seen that happen a few times, even at halfords! "my battery's buggered...it's not, your drive belts not really well attached to your alternator there" LOL.

I've got a GTi 180 - anybody know what powering steering pumps fit what?
Are they all the same? Therefore interchangeable?
