2.3 v5 help!
« on: 28 December 2007, 18:09 »
a mate of mine has just brought the 2.3 v5 and has had it 4 3 months and he gets a swaying of the front end when he's driving, ive drove it and its strange. we started by tracking it and putting 2 new tyres on it the track rod arms and bushes were like new, so he took it to the local vw main dealer and they put 2 new rear suspension bushes in but still doing it, took it back near side drive shaft but still doing it:angry: :angry: off side drive shaft but still doing it.

getting really bored of the problem now!!! anyone got any ideas or had this themselves before?
I must warn you I'm about as decisive as a 5 yr old in a sweet shop!!  :grin:
