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,

    Noise from left front

    I recently lowered my suspension and drove it last night for the first time since. When I take off there is a creaking noise but goes away once in motion of about 30km up. I jacked the left side up and turned the tyre a degree back and forth. I held the cv shaft and thought it could be the inner cv, BUT I then jacked the other end and it did the same thing. Worse nightmare...... could be my diff in the g/box or can that be normal? The sound could be louder due to the lowered suspension. Anyone give me good news........

        How low: The 18 inch rim is sitting on the arch. Lowest point on the car is less than 100mm to the ground. I greased the rubber top shock mounting which took away the clunking noise when turning. Ye maybe I will have to grease the other rubber bushes under the car. Any other thoughts ?

          careful about greasing them... have heard it makes them wear quicker.
