Underbody Inspection Instructions

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Checks and maintenance

Whenever you perform regular maintenance or have the opportunity to lift the vehicle on a ramp, it is always advisable to inspect the underbody to check the integrity of certain elements that are often overlooked. Check the condition of the support rubbers for the exhaust pipe, the welds, the joints, and any presence of holes or rust on the exhaust pipe itself; ensure there are no leaks from various pipes such as the fuel or brake lines; inspect the shock absorbers to ensure they are not leaking oil, and finally, check the secure fitting of any cover plates or plastic elements that could cause vibrations.
