Title: weird sound
Post by: sambo1670 on 23 September 2008, 18:37

i've just lowered my golf around 60mm, now i have a weird sound at the front.  sounds like it could be a heat shield vibrating, but it only happens when i accelerate from a stand still.  however not all the time, thought i was a cv joint but cant be, because does happen when im at cruising speed can anyone help?

cheers

most probably a heat shield.  Check the one on the manifold or the one above the cat convertor.

Not easy to check and even harder to fix!
