Hello im new, mk2 wanders around
« on: 14 April 2011, 13:13 »
Hi,

I've just joined, I own a mk2 Golf 1.3 ryder. It's not just a 1.3  :smug: it has a polo gt engine and gearbox, stainless non chav exhaust, 4 branch manifold, polished and ported head, coilovers, poly bushes, anti roll bar, rear disc conversion, braided hoses, 15inch bbs alloys with streched bridgestone tyres, GTI interior, Polo Gt steering wheel, single wiper, debadged all round and its got small bumbers with red trim.
Suprisingly drives quite quick for a 1.3  :drool:

Any one think of things to check that would make a mk2 feel like it's wandering around the road? It feels like when a wheel bearing goes but ive checked them all

Thanks,
Chris
