so it may be the track rod ends that need replacement then? there is hardly any movement at wobbling the front wheels at 12 and 6 but a lot more movement at 9 and 3 side to side! could it be the front hub too?thanks.

hi. there seems to be more movement play from each wheel at front at 9 and 3, little movement at 12 and 6, if this helps, is this wheel bearing? anyone know please? thanks.

hi m8. i spin each wheel and dont seem to make a noise! just wondered if these are prone for bushes or wear on parts ,trackrod ends etc? thanks.

hi. i have a golf vr6 m plate auto. the auxiliary drive belt snapped due to the tensioner/pulley siezed, lost water from expansion bottle, not sure where its gone? car runs but overheats due to the belt snapped and not driving the water pump etc i presume. any ideas where to check for water loss? once the auxiliary drive belt is changed will it all be ok thats the question. any ideas where to get the auxiliary rive belt and the tensioner? thankyou.

hi. i am in process of buying a golf vr6 m reg auto, was told the auxiliary drive belt broke, car overheated and may have damaged heater matrix, car was picked up by the a.a, towed home by previous owner, he is saying it only needs a new tensioner and aux drive belt! is this the case, is it worth buying the car or shall i be advised to stay clear of this one? want some advise as i really like the car and wanted to do the job myself. any advise appreciated asap. thankyou.

hi. how do you put a car for sale on this forum and add photos to it please? thanks stu
