My golf (pics) .. and some queries.

[bretttuk]

Well , today came and i went and purchased my mk2 golf 16v in the Infamous Oak Green.. First up .. here are the pics , questions after the pics.



and



Car has .. Full Scorpion Exhaust / Koni Shocks / G60 Brakes with Grooved Discs and (cant remember name of pads) / Braided hoses .. Car does run superb ... 2nd and 3rd are great ... better than my ABF Ibiza Gti i had.

Some issues ..

1. On steering to left full lock , there is a "clunk" noise .. what could this be ?
2. When accelerating in 1st , 2nd .. engine seems to move or jolt fwd and back ... what could this be ?

I have rough ideas, just need confirmation and rough prices .

Well... plans are... sort out the issues .. get the debadged grille , debadge the rear , possibly new manifold from Awesome and new thermostat from awesome and 3 pole fan switch too ... and get some Recaros , add my Origin B2 and PDA for the SatNav.

I see some good times ahead...

1. cv joint unless or steering rack as its power steering if it doesnt whine on full lock then its probably cv joint
2. engine mount or mounting bracket at the front can confirm this if you can feel the engine move if you lift the clutch in 1st

neither are major but id check the engine mount at the front straight away as if there is alot of movement it may well have snapped the bracket and the engine then balances on the oil filter.
