Typhy 0 Posted September 6, 2008 yeah its totally standard and paint is in good nick with just a bumper scratch and the laquer is peelnig no the passenger wing :( it runs fine apart from it screethes when i turn the wheel and is very crunchy which im told is power steering belt? gonna give it a good clean now :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay23Sx 0 Posted September 6, 2008 Sounds just like the power steering belt - mind did the same when I picked her up. The belt the local VW garage sent me didn't fit so I was able to tighten up the old one a little. No screeching and I get some power steering now.
