Title: 8v golf squealing front end
Post by: nobbin on 31 January 2005, 19:09

hi, i own a k reg 2.0gti 8v...few months ago there began a squealing sound when on full lock, from somewhere up front..lol...now it squeals REAL loud when setting off with only a little bit of lock..the steering wheel rocks in my hand at these points.....only happens at slow speeds...hence VERY embarassing in ASDA carpark!
could anyone tell me whats up? is it the power steering pump? something else?
what price to fix it am i looking at?
cheers
andy
