Front wheel to the back and back to the front and see if it goes away

done all that even tried another set of wheels and still no change

wheel bearing ?
warped disc ?

 

[studly69]

If it was a bearing wouldn't you normally get a whining noise and could a disc do that

 

[Ovid]

dont always get whining , could get a rumble but these seem to be very good at noise absorption, if the caliper has stuck a little and heated the disc up ,the disc will warp and yes it will cause a serious wobble.Can you feel the wobble when braking through the brake pedal ? sorta like the pedal is being pumped slightly by an invisible hand.

 

[studly69]

Don't feel it through peddle just through steering wheel and that it comes through the left hand side

 

[vr6gordy]

Swop wheels round like I said

 

[demus]

Does sound wheel bearing ish, no they don't always whine, I've had one on another car that lumped around corners, heard and felt through the steering when driving slowly. Drove fine at 60 around corners...

 

[vr6gordy]

You checked the track rod and also maybe the drop links if you have it's got to be wheel bearing

 

[studly69]

As someone said wheel bearing well that's bin changed and no different I have notice no and again when put foot down I get a flat spot for about a second then goes don't know whether they are joined in any way

Engine mount?

 

[studly69]

Well I've just done engine mount even tho ive just getting over the flu lol has dampened down a bit but still vibrating there's nothing else left to change on that side any more ideas

 

[demus]

Tried it with the ESP turned off ??

 

[Ro55]

Is it a quattro? I jave alot of road noise but been told its a quattro thing. What about gearbox mount?

 

[studly69]

Haven't tried it with out esp yet I try it today and it front wheel drive road noise could be ****** tyres you might want to check them

 

[Ro55]

Ive had 2 sets now lol.got 2 sets of wheels.gearbox mount...though ive read a few times that the electronic engine mount causes a few vibration issues.is that the one you did?

 

[studly69]

Yes it is just waiting for other side to turn up engine feels better now on start up and when turn off

 

[studly69]

Just bin out in car and vibration had gone then it came back don't no what's going on
