Seams to drive fine, just got M.O.T Friday & don't want a surprise if its something which needs sorting :embarassed: lol
-
probably best to just ignore it then.. the only thing it can be is if somethings shunted oneside back which they would pick up on the MOT as they spend loads of time at that part of the car.. is it majorly noticeable without your hand there ??
-
I see the problem........You have far too much skin on your fingers :shocked: Have you been in the bath for a while before taking the pics? :grin: Is it considerably lower one side as the wheels move further towards the rear doors or front of rear arch as the car goes lower.

well . . . i had a problem the passengers side just after i got the car, hit a pot hole and it foobard my car broke suspension spring was that bad a hole it naked my alternator snapped a bit off it and i got £300+ back from the counsel but that would have been after the last M.O.T. cant really tell if your looking only if you feel around you can feel the gap difference.
got a feeling its going to come up on the M.O.T. . . :undecided:

It is less than 20mm difference though, they probably wont notice. Old peugeots with the torsion bars knackered still pass and they look really blatently odd. Not as odd as ya digits though.......... Just kidding mate, their like a models hands, infact I just let out a bit of sex wee thinking about them x

loool
-
Could be a rear beam bush on its way out.

:drool: Mmmmmm, that was a nice treat to wake up to, if my name was Roy I'd have thought you did that seductive writing just for me! Still did the job, I'm spent! Can I have one of your left foot covered in fresh 10-40 oil with a VW packaging sticker on it? :laugh: All jokes aside, that is a wretched mork! :sick:Like an alien hand but kinda kinky at the same time :drool: Was your beam bent under the car mate?

lol your one sick puppy lol :laugh: ill PM you them lol :grin:
??? Beam bent ??? nothings ever been said as the garage is there a way for me to check and what part is it lol a pic would be great. :nerd:
This may or may not be related to this but i was on way from my bro's and i could be like a knocking like something was lose on the passengers side but when i sped up the sound went when i slowed it came back but went after a wile ? stopped at one point and had a poke around but was like 2 in the morning so the light wasn't very good lol going to jack it up later and have a look around so if someone could get me a pic of the Beam would be great.
THankS
-
Been out shaken and hitting everything and i cant find why i had that knocking so . . . . must have fixed it self :rolleyes:
so think they wont be pic it up on my M.O.T ?
-
I wouldn't have thought so although some places are stricter than others. I suppose also that it depends on what's causing it too. If they do pick up on it tell the guy MOTing it to get a life and a girlfriend as to be that keen he has nothing else to fill his time! It could be down to a manufacture defect, my e36 had a larger lip on one rear arch than the other......

thanks VW

as an mot tester i can tell you that as long as the axle is mounted to the car and the bushes are not hanging out then it should pass fine, there is no reason for rejection for axle not mounted straight or any way for an mot tester to check as some one said some cars are like that from the factory others because they have had panels replaced badly. you might find that if you have had a funny rattling noise from the rear that has now gone, one of the spring end may have broken off and now fell out. hope this helps cheers mike
