I have read about heat shield issues but not sure if any good thread to attach this to so started a new one.
I have noticed a vibration that occurs when down shifting between 3rd and 2nd coming to a stop or slowing down. (DSG). It sounds like a heat shield. Not super loud but can hear when radio down. While car was on lift today I checked the underside and nothing was free and moving. However I have a CSS muffler and above the suit case muffler is a flat heat shield. All is secure but if I thump it on the edge the vibration sounds familiar. Not sure options. Anything added here must withstand heat. A thicker shield might help but thin I am sure dissipates heat better. Anyone know of heat shield options? Any sound or vibration isolators? The louder CSS muffler is likely causing the low vibration.
Thanks.
