good stuff boys, thats what a good community does

[evorobin]

Great write up. I've had a cv go since I've been in oz but these things happen. Maybe some distilled holy water with the coolant is called for...

[GoLfMan]

Amen Scuse the pun

[Rednut]

its definately gone through a pint of unholy water.. hopefully it runs for a while.. i only want it for an a-b car for now.. im broke as balls.. so it wont be getting any treatment anytime soon..altho a good dyno tune is needed.

[mollins]

glad we could help out... it'll be good to see another waterpumper cruising round newy!

[Golf Loon]

Go the newy golf crew. I smell a cruise in the air

[mollins]

mmm... cruise

the CV was well and truely jiggered... as soon as we pulled the boot back out came a rain of chunks of the dished washer, a lot of glittery grease and all the balls (hence the commando roll)... the splines on the driveshaft had been all bent too so we couldnt get the old CV off... so we ended up using a spare shaft from my shed... rednut was smiling so much he was about to bust his cheek bones when we backed it out of my driveway... made it all worth it haha

[Rednut]

do ya blame me

[Golf Loon]

I`m so glad it had a happy ending.

That CV is probably one of the few bits of that car that have not been changed.

[Rednut]

theres always the other cv joint...

rear suspension

the jetta is still bottoming out even with 2 people in the car.. i looked under the car yesty and found that the spring on the left side is disturbingly close to the wheel.. it looks as if the wheel would hit the spring when it goes up.. it seems a bit far to hit the guards or the roof of the arch?? i'll check the other side this arvo after work to check if its the same on the other side.. altho it only seems to bottom on the left side.
i cant exactly move the springs can i? any ideas on a temp fix.. nonety $ to buy new suspension.

Loon, what springs are on it, do you know?

cheers

[mollins]

i may have some spare springs... are the rears of a mk2 same as a mk1?

[Golf Loon]

It has cut springs, I have some stockers you can have if the newy crew want a job. Not the same as Mk1

[syncro]

Are Jetta springs the same?

[Golf Loon]

Are Jetta springs the same?

As Mk2 Golf, Mk3 and Cordoba. Yes.
Not same as Mk1
