Bit of an update. Driving my car home last night and have now noticed that when i steer to the left there is a bit of a grinding/catching noise. Also upon hitting 40mph there is now a woah woah woah noise. Dunno if that makes any sense, hard to describe noises in writing. Any more ideas?? Getting it looked at tomorrow but just thought some of you lovely people might be able to help in the mean time. Also on the white smoke front, checked my bill for the mot to find that the garage filled up my coolant tank with antifreeze & stop leak for the leak obviously. Checked it this morning as the c

Good stuff, Thanks people for all your help. :-* :-d

More like wisps, nothing major just did at the lights and when i stopped at the garage but it is quite cold today, could be steam?

Tend to drive above 40mph most times anyway so should be fine. Well Officer, the reason i am doing 60mph in a 40 zone is because.......hmm worth a go!! :-d Will have to get it looked at then. Cheers for help anyhoo. :-* Actually whilst i've got you... noticed today at traffic lights that there was white smoke coming from my front grill, not loads but a few puffs. I just had my car motd (flew through i am proud to say) and the only advisory was that it has a slow coolant leak. I'm thinking if it is leaking antifreeze on to the engine, when it gets hot it is going to burn off, hence the smoke. D

Just noticed the seats, furry. Interesting concept.

Just had a thought, hope the owner isn't on this forum or i will probably be inundated with hate mail. Ahh never mind.

Noooo!!! What is that??? At what point in your life do you look at your golf (or any car fo that matter) and say i know what i'm going to do with this......(i) Why?? I feel slightly queasy now lol :S

Steering makes no difference. It's only when it hits about 40mph, after that seems to fade away, only to return when slowing to about 40mph. Strange. Will have a look though like you say. Do we think it's ok to drive?

I have recently had the track rod ends replaced and 1 strut top mount and new bushes all of which needed replacing after having the 18inch wheels on.

Another problem for you all to get stuck into. Just taken my vr out for a spin in my lunch break and have noticed white smoke coming from the grill whilst sat at the lights. There is no way my engine can have got too hot, i'd only driven it about 1 mile. I have just had it motd and the only advisory was that it has a slow coolant leak. I'm thinking then that maybe antifreeze is leaking onto the engine and when it gets hot, it's burning it off. Does this sound right?? It only does it when the car is stopped and not for very long, just a few puffs and thats it. Once more, Help please!!

Just taken it out for a spin in my lunch break as you do and have to say it's not really a vibrating noise, it's more of a high pitched whining noise accompanied by a bit of grinding. Not as bad as it was before i had the bearing replaced but still there none the less. Is it possible that it is another bearing going?
-
Cheers for the reply Nat. Definitely not hit anything recently, wheels are done up properly and i have no inner plastic arches, had them removed when i had the arches rolled. If there is play in the front wheels what would that be, i've been told that there is slight play in the steering rack would that make a difference?
-
It sounds like its coming from the front and its definitely a wheel noise. Drives fine but is very noisy. Can feel it through the floor too.

I have just got my car back from the garage. It went in as it started making a noise when it got above 40mph particularly in 4th and got worse when i slowed down or braked. The garage replaced a n/s rear bearing which was apparently causing the problem. Got in it after having collected it only to find that the noise is still there. Does anyone know what it could be?? Its quite loud and makes the whole car vibrate inside and it is sometimes sounds like a flapping sound, like something is catching. Need help please!! Is it ok to drive??*-)
