  2. dont forget new rubber o rings! if its the original housing when you take it apart inspect were the housing meets the side of the engine block as this is a prone place the housing breaks down,there also a funny square shape rubber seal that will prob need replacing to.
  3. im feeling it 2 mate,ive started buying autotrader on a weekly basis to c if anything takes my fancy,but the price of vr6`s have dropped so much i dont think it worth selling?paid
  4. no mate a lot of wasted money told me what side had gone,all inner and outers had no play in them at all so i was told it was the drivers side outer making the sound,replaced that and it was still the same,then i was told it was the passenger side inner and again changed that one but still the same,then changed the drivers side inner as the sound was getting louder buy now and i was sure it was drivers side as the sound was alot fainter when listening from passenger side and at last on tuesday i was driving home without that bloody clicking sound,the gaiter was unmaked no tears or lose of grea
  5. oh yeh you can hear it from inside the car no probs but only when the window was down,my problem was working out what side or inner or outer was clicking,wasnt easy as it was only clicking on right turns,never made a sound on left turns or in a straight line,never made a sound on a ramp only when driving and under load.jay
  6. what side gave up on you?ive got a passengers side inner cv that come of mine when i thought it was that side clicking but as it turned out it was the drivers side,pm me if you want it.jay
  7. vrvirgin mate yours sounds like a noisey waterpump i had mine changed last month and all simptoms was the same as yours,the sound is lound enough but is hard to explain but check to see if the belt is wobbling on idle and if there any play in the waterpump pully? ni-golf get that belt changed asap as from your photo that belt looks pretty cracked and you dont want that breaking on you while on your 100 mile trip, jay
  8. sh*i mate,that could of been alot worse,ive just had my inner cv drivers side done on tuesday but had been driveing it for approx 3 months without a problem apart from the clicking,i feel very lucky after haering your story,maybe i should of done the lottery tonight? jay
