Default Downpipe broken welding at bracket holding Pipe

I installed an aftermarket Downpipe. The above comment came from the Audi dealer. I have scheduled with Fast Intentions tomorrow to fix the leak.

Does anyone have an idea where this bracket may be located exactly?

Default 1.8t? Its located....

down near the right-side of the gearbox. If you follow your exhaust pipe, from the turbo back, you can actually see it from the engine compartment. To see it in full view, you will need to get up under your car.

Default Sorry, yes 1.8T. Thanks!

Just checking if it's an easy fix because Audi would obviously not want to touch it being aftermarket component already when they saw the leak.

Thanks again.
