  2. rear end issues

    in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering

    Posted

    hi all am really gutted... went to go to the rolling road day yes2day but 5miles up the road and she started rubbin on the rear drivers side wheel like constantly... i was due to do the bearing but i hadn't got around to it (i had replaced one about 3 weeks before)

    anyway under closer inspection the wheel is virtually touchin on the drivers side arch yet i can get my fingers between the wheel and arch on the passenger side ( which it wasnt like before)

    any1 with any ideas as to wot it could be? i'm hopin its mayb the bearin collapsed and that it hasn't caused any damage

    i dont think it'll be the coiovers cos i dont think they are that old so i was also wonderin about either the rear axle bushes (these arent that old either accordin to the receipts i got with the car) or maybe the strut top mount

    hope some1 can help i'm missin the infectious sound of the big vr already! :(

    also any ideas cheapest place for a water pump think thats starin to go aswell... :(

    hi

    just purchased my 1st vr6... had a mk2 golfs and a mk1 project at mo but got a golf 3 vr6 now... which is all gooood BUT it seems to struggle if tryin to go slowly if that makes sense but clears bout 4500rpm ish and as much as i like bootin her i cant afford it all the time.... and she seems to not be runnin on every cylinder til past 4500rpm too...

    anyways i was thinkin its got to be an ignition prob so leads and plugs gonna be checked tomorrow if it stops bloody rainin! lol but i read a post from a while back that it could be coilpack.... ?!?

    its all goin ova my head a bit...i knew b4 i got her that they only like certain plugs and leads...

    also the acc pedal seems to be stickin occasionally causin me to almost stall... sooo dunno wots doin this....

    any help will be greatly appriciated

    thankin u
