the mot man, he say its time for a new backbox.
short of re-mortgaging, i can't find a backbox/silencer for my 1.9 dg for under £90.
however;

this cheap biscuit tin might get me on the road again? its for a 2.1 but a lot of stainless jobbies say they replace 1.9 & 2.1 - is that because they have the same mounting positions on the block or are the parts pretty interchangeable?

Looks a bit short to me so I think its for the catalyzer equiped 2.1 engines...
Ah.. read the table at the bottom it is...
The 2.1 DJ one is the same as the "late" style DG...

VW part No. 025 251 147BC
GSF No 20024 for a post 86
give that to GSF and you'll get a silencer that fits

yep, 20024 is the later one, the others are different qualities of the earlier system.
