Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        Hmm, I had that in my golf, the clicking would only come when turning left but not on full lock, so I didn't think it was a cv. Took it to my mechinic and he pulled out the inner CV joint and it was shagged beyond all belief!! Maybe consider the inner cvs instead of just the outers....

          if ya been rippin skids and doing heaps of hard cornering n shiz that can wear out da CV's quicka.

          also if they were installed incorrectly/poorly/poorly greased etc, that'll cut down thier lifespan.

                Heavier and larger wheels do shorten the lifespan of all drivetrain components, like ball joints, tie rods, control arm bushes, cv joints, wheel bearings etc. The amount of damage depends on the component itself, the difference between old and new wheel size and how hard you drive it.

                Well a larger and heavier wheel aint' going to make the components last longer, put it that way !

                  I had a similiar thing on my wife's car and a bit on mine. Sorted with new ball joints.. did mine as part of the ECS refresh kit as well.

                  Other solution would be to install another 2 speakers and Subwoofer..
