Anything I should know before replacing starter motor
carrots replied to philie's topic in Engine Bay
i would put a jack under engine as 1 bolt holds engine mount and can be a bit of a bugger to get back in if engine drops a bit -
mine owes me more than i paid for it,i spend at least £100 a month on parts and it dont seem to end
-

-
i wouldnt say its the rear on mine,but the steering wheel going from left to right on round abouts is deff not right on mine
-

-
i can see what you mean,what about them poly type on ebay.some solid rubber type on ebay aswell
-
checked the r32 unipart bushes same as tt and corrado not solid.fitted rear bearings when i got car,could do with adjusting tho i bet by now.racks been checked for play and is fine
-
no its done it since ive had it about 18months,at 1st i put it down to its age and me driving newer cars.but after an mot a few bushes were on the way out so i thought change um and it mite be beter.its the same tho.the bushes unipart sell for the tt are the same as corrado ive had them out the box to look
-
its been on a ramp to check for play and all seems fine,my mate reckons its because its low which is making the wishbones sit at an angle they shouldnt be at.tt bushes looked the same as corrado,unless i would need the later tt uns
-
hi ive had this prob,ive ran mine on 15w 40w oil with a bottle of stp oil treatment.that cured it.the last oil change i did was with 10w 40w and the stp that seamed ok aswell but the head gasket went so i couldnt realy try it
-
the drop links on arb are new
-
i work for unipart and its very rare we get faulty arms,i had thought of changing the rear bushes tho.someone said audi tt uns .ive looked at them and they look the same as corrado uns tho
-
it does feel like it wants to go to the left when your driving in a straight line.these wishbone have done 2000 mile max tho
-
the bushes and ball joints came with the arms which are unipart,the rear axle bushes had slight play at last mot
-
check the caliper is sliding ok and give it a good clean
-
all mounts are new and new ball joints,it sounds like a ball joint sound.had tracking done tyres dont look flat and it handles fine at low speed
