I got the powerflex dog bone mount fitted from Awesome in my brothers golf mk5 tdi, definitley makes it stiffer and car will vibrate if you set off aggressively

Cars looking well

Sorry for getting back late for a reply

The headunit is JVC KW AV60BT

great sound and ive got ipod,usb in my glove compartment off it and an aux in the front

Also has bluetooth

Its really comfy on the mototway,can get a little bumpy on local roads but the roads here are terrible

Ill have a look on the box to see which.model it is bud and ill get back to you

Tracking all done, Paul at drury lane was great, they check the car first,show you a printout and ask if you want to go ahead and adjust, checking is £48 and £72 incl VAT for checking and adjusting Took it on motorway and its beautiful to drive now, absolutely transformed A printout of before and ...

Went to get new tyres,found out the uncomfortable feeling ive been having is because all 4 wheels are buckled!!! To rhibk,ive taken these to 3 different garages t get them balanced and each garage just stuck on.more weights!!! Absolutely gutted, anyhoo,gave me an excuse to get some new wheel Car dri...

New shocks,new springs,full service including coolant flush and power steering fluid and new boost solenoid valve Also undid the control arms and pushed axle as high as we could before it started lifting off ramp and then tightened the arms Car looks much better, left rear shock was knackered, the o...

Its got red sachs shocks, and the sport suspension code is 1be but mine doesnt say that in the boot so im guessing standard suspension?

Quick update The cars driving me nuts, front end is still too high after slackening new lower arms and then retightening, do you have to do the same with the uppers? Also,took it back to Mike (mad autocare) who discovered the possible reason for my steering wheel being heavy is because my power stee...

Yeh same here!

Right,ive got it done,still looks pretty high but garage said it would take a few days for it to settle down

Ive read about the u joint where the brake pedal is which can get creaky and just needs a bit of grease, gonna get that done tomorrow aswell i would have done it myself but with a bad back and no time due to work, im not risking it ill find out in the morning if ive knackered the new controls arms o...

right, booked in at local garage for tomorrow morning at 8

Just hope i havent damaged it too much in the one month i have been driving it like this

i think its been more noticeable since i had the control arms changed?

That would probably explain why the steering feels quite heavy too

I just hope there isnt any damage to the new control arms, i changed all of them including the tie rods

I havent lowered the car at the moment, still on standard springs...

i even said that to the garage and he said it doesnt make a difference!

Do you think ive knackered the bushes by now, hence the creaky noise?

I had all my control arms changed about a month ago but ive really started noticing recently how high my front end if compared to the rear? The steering feels quite heavy, dont remember my previous passats being as heavy as this one Also when i turn the steering wheel or at random points when settin...

Awesome,cheers for that

Thats a good price bud

Where was that from?

Awesome thread mate,credit to you


You are a man of great patience, I agree with dubbers36, 5.0 V10 would be an Awesome project

Fitted my new head unit and also the short shifter,not liking the short shifter,it was much better in my b5 that didn't have the push down reverse,might go back to standard,will put pickup when I get a chance...

It's hard to individually check the 2 tops arms without pulling them out and checking it that way Today on the motorway, I floored it by downshifting into 5th at 70mph and the car went into limp mode! Gonna try replacing the n75 valve first and then look at vacuum hoses Also need the rear door trim,...

I think it could be a ball joint as having it on a ramp would take the weight off the suspension Its happened with 2 differebt sets of alloys,the bigget the alloys get,the bigger the clunk Tyres dont have any bulges or anything Ive rang Mike (MAD GARAGE IN HUDDERSFIELD) and hes told me to bring it d...

As the title suggests, when driving, you can hear a clunk sometimes when going over potholes Also when driving there is a wobble which you can't feel through the steering wheel but you can through the whole car,it's minor at the moment and only happens now and again I've taken it to the garage this ...

Car has been at the garage since 8 this morning and they still can't identify the wobble!

You can hear it sometimes over potholes,a loud clunk and other times,it's fine!

How would I know which ones I need and how do you tell the difference?

And wouldn't I feel the vibration or wobble through the steering wheel?

JEEZ!

thanks for that,will keep u posted with my results,im off on friday so gonna tinker about with it then
