As i seem to answer my own technical questions and as it appears very few of you have any idea about engineering i think i may have found the issue i'm having i had a google and it seems it a well known problem with mk5 and 6 golfs where the subframe bolts are not man enough for the job and the subframe is effectively slipping back an forth ecs supply a kit with a locking spacer to slove this issue

Erm, but you are an engineer aren't you :huh:
Anyway glad you may have identified the problem.

You'll find the older the cars get the more technical minded the newer owners and members become imo. Most from new will have been desk jockeys and accountant's :laugh: :wink: :drool: you know typical Audi/BMW owners :grin: :wink: (jk)

I understand your frustration, but as an engineer, you've no doubt got more understanding and insight into mechanical and technical issues than many others. You have a duty to educate the rest of us numptys. :grin: :kiss: :smiley:

I am an engineer but just didn't know. :cool: could be flaming anything springs to mind. haha

There are such things as over engineered this is maybe the fault of the modern day vehicle :grin:

Oh an as a footnote to this i think it was on here i tried educate ppl about torquing a nut/bolt using an extension thus adding torque so a formula is to be used to gain correct torque setting and got repeatly shot down go a head an shear your bolts no odds to me
-
Lol i used to work with a guy who wondered one day why the flywheel bolts he had torqued were snapping. Factory torque was like 20lbs ft but he had chosen to ignore that and torqued them up to 45lbs ft :laugh:

I remember that. You didn't get shot down by me mate.
Sure, some people will have their own ways of doing things and will never be convinced otherwise, that there may be a better alternative, but that's no reason not to share your knowledge and expertise. I'm sure it's not lost on everyone.

I appreciate the replies :smiley:

Found it found now! The airbag top mount on drivers side also potentially suffering from chassis creep
-
