I have bought a new gti yesterday its a T reg so its got the agu engine, its got a major problem and im not sure what it is was wondering if anyone could help me out, basically as soon as I accelerate the car shakes through the hole car mostly through the steering wheel, matey I bought it off said its had new drive shafts and new engine mounts. when u let off the accelerator it seems fine as soon as back on its so bad hardly driveable. The faster you go the worse it is at 35mph its ridiculous.
Please help me
-
CV joints, tie rod, misaligned tracking or wheel balancing?
-
Buckled wheel. Long shot..... dogbone ?
-
My bet is on driveshaft.. if only happens when you accelerate.. happened to my previous gti twice.
-
knowing the Island roads, Buckled wheels :whistle:
-
Or a lying vendor....
Take it to Barney's Tyres on Forest Road and get Karl to check the balance on the wheels - he'll soon tell you if the wheels are buckled.
If it ain't buckled wheels it'll be CV joints.
-
experienced similar and it was driveshaft/cv
-
I agree with the above. Does it sound and pull ok?
I don't wish a bumhole who kicks you when you are down, but did you not drive the car before buying it?
-
I'm going to give ago changing the driveshaft today is there any tutorials around?
-
Why not check the cheaper easier things first mate ? What alloys has it got if there aftermarket or reps I would definitely get it balance ect first
