Hello! Long time lurker..first time poster!
I have a new to me 1997 GTI. Runs great, handles well, one issue I'm having constantly is the exhaust manifold bolts coming loose and spraying water in the engine compartment.
I tried replacing the bolts and putting some red thread locker on them and letting them set up overnight. I went out and rode came back, they were fine. I let my brother ride it and he was riding hard, came back and all 3 bolts and the nut were loose.
Any ideas on how to resolve this? I assume this isn't normal for these bolts to keep coming loose.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
