GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Vibration While Turning Right - Possibly Coilovers?

I just got 4 brand new tires put on balanced and aligned twice. Now when the wheel is straight i get minimal vibration. But if I turn left I get no vibration. When I turn right at all its a pretty medium loudness vibration. almost sounds like something rubbing. Now I just found out my coilovers are all messed up on height. If I level it do you think that will fix my vibration? the guy at tire plus said possible transmission causing vibration but the tranny seems fine to me. he also said if I raised it about a quarter inch it could stop it all together possibly. But I love being low....

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Coilovers Installation - Lower Strut Mounting Bolt Seized

I am installing my coilovers on my gli and I have everything installed but the passenger side coilover. I cant even remove the old strut because the damn lower strut mounting bolt is seized and I've been trying for hours to remove it at no avail. I have used pb blaster, my heat gun, and my sweat. I dont have impact tools, just my ratchet..

Golf V R32 :: Rough Ride - Adjusting Coilovers?

I am adjusting my coilovers this weekend (Bilstein PSS10). Bringing them up a bit as the ride continues to be too rough for a daily driver. Would like to compare the height to stock.

Stock suspension height and wheels, looking for a quick measurement from the ground to the bottom of the fender edge (Across the center of the wheel) for front and rear?.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Neuspeed Seems To Be Lower In The Rear?

I just put on some brand new Bilstein shocks/struts with new mounts and some Neuspeed springs. It seems like the rear sits lower than the front. Maybe some polo bushings to bring the front down a bit? No stereo stuff of anything in the trunk..

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Rear Wiper Malfunction - Does Not Squirt Right?

I've been having trouble with my rear wiper since forever. Every time i try to use the washer fluid for the rear, it doesn't squirt right and fills up the motorized lock for the trunk and malfunctions the lock for a day or 2 until it drys. I had this same problem with my old 1.8t gti, just in that case i had to have the whole lock replaced due to the damage from the washer fluid (luckily the dealer payed for it).

I was thinking maybe swapping it out for the polo rear wiper on ecs tuning.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Both Front Wheels Shift A Few Inches To The Rear

Pulling into work today and backing into my parking spot, a fellow employee noticed something odd about my front wheels, so he hopped in my car so I could see the issue.

From a dead stop accelerating forward, the front wheels shift a few inches to the rear, and same thing when backing up from a dead stop they shift to the front. Both sides are doing this evenly. I haven't thrown it on the lift yet but I was thinking a possibly bad dogbone mount. The car has 133K on it and the bone has never been touched.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Rear Hatch Will Not Stay Latched When Closed

20th Anniversary sat for 2 months and battery was flat when I went to start it today. I jumped it and got it running. However, when I went to close the hatch it will not stay latched. The latch on the hatch is hitting the striker on the lip of the trunk, but it just won't stay shut. Is any part of the latching mechanism electronically or vacuum operated?

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Rear Strut Mount Noise When Cold?

Is this possible? I recently installed raceland ultimos and I get this weird muffled noise from the top of the rear suspension. Took it all apart, cut the bump stops shorter, and lubed the strut mounts. Sound went away for about 10 mins of driving, went for another drive and the sound was back. The next day the weather was warmer and the noise was gone. Should I just get new strut mounts?

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Horn Noise Coming From Passenger Rear Tire

Very weird indeed...our 20th AE sometimes will give off this very light horn noise that appears to be coming from the passenger rear tire area...I looked around and couldn't find anything..

The noise is very faint, and repeats in a beep, beep, beep and the longer it goes on, the more space between beeps....very weird.

Just got hit with the P0130 code when my CEL came on for the pre-cat o2 sensor. On ecs there are front and rear sensors. I'm assuming front would correspond to the pre-cat that is throwing the code?
