That pipe went on my first 180 when it had 71 miles on the clock!!!! :( :(

yup as above, that pipe is normally the suspect if it's been rubbing on anything

Like the AC pump as was the case with mine!! Should have been picked up at the pdi but then the garage I bought my first 180 off was rubbish !!
