loud metal scraping noise

hope someone can help - got a 2003 03 polo that has developed a temperamental metal on metal sound coming from 'underneath'. On 2 occasions it sounded like the exhaust was dragging on the floor, but when i checked below nothing. Engine runs fine and gears change ok. I'll call the AA tomorrow to give it a look over for anything loose. Just wondered if anyone had had the same prob?

Your in the wrong section dude, you should post in this section:

You might get more of a response.

As for the noise its very strange, i can't put my finger on it

Is everything "tight" underneath? Nothing hanging down at any time?

Is the exhaust bolted in tightly especially at the end ?

Could be the console bushes had this on mine, only made a noise when pulling away from a standing start. If it is the concole bushes you want to replace them with the Seat Ibiza Cupra solid ones. You would be better off posting this in the MK6 section.
