MK1 Octy VRS zaust 'hanging low'

Hi all. I've seen a few octavia's with my particular issue. My exhaust tip seems to be hanging down quite a way from its little cubby hole cutout in the bumper, and it looks a little odd. The rear hanging V type rubber is there and hasn't broken.

Is this a common problem? Is it the hanging rubber needing to be replaced possibly? Any help welcome as it really lets the car down I think!

Sorted mine at the weekend. You need a new rear hanger to bring it back up, as the rubber 'Y' stretches over time.

Part number= 1J0253144J @ £4.17 + vat

Two 8mm bolts (with 13mm heads) hold the bracket on. The new rubber comes with the steel bracket that bolts to the underside of the car.

You don't even need to jack the car up, as access under the rear is good. 15min job probably. Nice and easy.

Mine looks alot better now anyway...
