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,

  • Issue #2 (Steering Woes)

    This is partially linked to Issue #1 (and it could be).

    When I'm at a slow speed, say less than 20kph, and I move the steering wheel left-right-left , it doesn't exactly vibrate, it feels like something is loose.

    In addition I have another problem (issue #1).

    What could be possibly loose to cause this ?

    Any ideas ?

        Something worn

        Most (decent) wheel aligners won't touch anything if there's significant wear in bushes, joints, rack etc. They know that they'll have problems getting it right. Ask for a check first. No point in realigning with something worn.

          Hey champ, I'm alright!

          I had the wheel alignment done and it went away, but at the moment it has come back a bit more. I'll check the bushes and see if anything needs tightening.

          If it's the rotors that need machining, is it a walk in/walk out job ?
