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,

    last time i checked they were about $150 each??? i may be wrong its been a while...
    u know your CV is stuffed if u turn it on full lock and u hear a clunking sound, it may be something else?

            front left when braking? doesnt sound like a cv...
            jack it up n pull the wheel off n look for signs of rubbing on the inners or strut.
            did they do a wheel alignment???prolly forked it up. Take it back to the place that fitted them if u cant see anything untoward.
            there is usually no mistaking a screwed CV sound...they dont screech from what ive whitnessed, lol...
            Cheers, Benny

                Or back that old problem of something worn in your suspension that you have had for months. Sounds dangerous!

                  Spend your money in the right way mate. Take it to a suspension specialist, or to Mullers. You will pay a bit, but at least you will spend your money on the right thing, rather than on stuff that aint broke.
