Charged VR 0 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Check the usual MK4 stuff like1)Broken rear springs at the bottom of the pig tail2)Craking/Creaking Anti roll bar bushes3)Faulty Cooling Fans!!! Put the A/C on and the fans should run constantly on slow speed, If the pulse on & off fast speed then new fans are needed and they are £££. (Only 150's not 130)4)Clicking from Glovebox can be faulty heater positiong motor. Pain in the arse to do5)Check the carpets for water as front door carriers can leak6)History on window lifter replacement as common failure7) Worn Camshafts and broken tappets (The noise is reaaly bad when these have gone) Link to post Share on other sites
