    "It's BROKE!"

    You really don't want to get married do you??? Comments like that have been known to get blokes castrated.

    If your car runs you are probably broke
    If you are not broke your car probably is
    If you are a married guy you are broke

    It's a $65 weld job! Thank goodness! It was a clean break in the pipe adjacent the manifold. They don't know the cause because it's clean. No off roading damage or anything. My VX just decided that it wanted it's exhaust fixed so, like a good servant, I do as I am told.

    Question

    Cece-now you got me curious! So, is the break right on the passenger side of the engine where the exhaust pipes connect at a triangular piece of metal? I ask because if so, this is EXACTLY what happened to Ascinder a month ago!

    Inquiring minds want to know! Good news about getting it fixed!

    Yes, it is right under the passenger side. It's right where the pipes connect to the manifold. Once the ice/snow melts and evaporates, I will go under the and take some pics. Though the mechanic said he had to do a lot of searching before finding where it all went wrong.

    Got her back! My baby is all better now. YAY!

    WEIRD! This is exactly where Ascinder's broke! I thought it was just some one off case of VX weirdness but now it seems we all have to look out for this! Did yours break at the weld? That's where Ascinder's broke and I wonder if this is just a spot where there is a weak weld or something....
