have standard exhaust mate. it sounds like its coming form the front suspension but i have my doubts if the shocks would cause it to knock over rough ground. also will the shocks be different on different models
hi i have recently taken my car to my local vag specialist with a knocking when going over rough terrain. he has checked all the bushes etc but couldnt find any problems. so he thinks it must be the suspension struts as he cannot replicate there movement on the ramp.
my question is does anyone...
no probs happy to help. the 1 thing i did find with the weitecs was they are only locked by a grub screw which screws into plastic it is very very easy to overtighten so be carefull bud.
i couldnt think how this has happend either however i dont no what the previous owner has done. if the blue bit is the rubber coupler then that could well be my problem as i cant even remember seeing anything rubber around there. i will post up the pics tomorrow see what you guys think. thanks
gutted for you mate. like everyone has said least the family are ok. this sort of thing makes my blood boil. as said before are you sure it wasnt taken at say 11.30ish the day before.
will scramble under tomorrow as i dont have the use of the ramp and take some pics. cant understand though if its not in why would it whine unless maybe the gearbox is dry.
thanks for the replys. its a manual. i will get under and have another look tomorrow. That diagram was very helpful where did u find that i searched and searched somthing like that.
does anyone no what the part numbers would be.
and possible damage that could have been caused. thanks
hi after buying my a3 3.2 quattro a couple of weeks ago i started hearing a slight whine which has got worse. anyway today took it over to put her up on the ramps got her up and its only driving the front wheels?? it looks like the prop shaft has come out of the gear box but i cannot get it back...
lol yea tell me about it.
i jacked her up earlier spun the wheels no noise checked for play top to bottom and nothing. help im starting to get worried this is going to get expensive.
hi thanks for the welcome and reply. you might have seen me on edition38. it tends to come from the front but doesnt change on cornering and has deteriorated so rapidly was thinking possibly not wheel bearing. but i will get her up in the morning check and report back.
