Noise at front
« on: May 30, 2014, 10:27:27 pm »
I am getting a clicking noise when I turn right on full lock at low speed - u turn etc.

Anyone got any idea what this could be as my MOT is still a few months away?

Cheers

It will be the subframe clicking most probably. It can be fixed with some spacers and new bolts, try the search function for "subframe noise"

EDIT: done it for you - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,55099.0.html

You want two of each I think

Definitely worth checking the CV boots for leaking grease... but if it's already clicking then a new boot won't fix it.

Subframe bolts worth doing either way tbh.
