Golf IV R32 :: Car Feels Bouncy


Nov 14, 2010

So after several thousand miles and many many moons of driving the R with my wife's wheelchair in the back, I find it way to bouncy for me. Still haven't put coilovers on due to this problem, I wasn't sure which c/o's would take the extra, say 300 pounds, on them as my DD. H&R RSS club sports are what I'm almost positive I'm getting seeing as they say keep those on the track, I'm sure they must be fairly sturdy. Now just a matter of time and saving money on top of health care for the wife which we won't go into. Now of course I'll put those on and then also their sway bars, front and rear along with someone's camber kit.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: 2003 With 56K Miles - Rough Ride / Rear Suspension Feels Hard And Bouncy

So I found an 03 gx one owner and only 56k Miles on it. Nice truck. I noticed right away that the rear suspension feels hard and bouncy. When I adjust the height it does work but seems to take a bit. In the Low setting feels like it is on the bump stops. Not sure where to start, sounds like the level sensors can be an issue, so I will have a look at them. Feels like it is just going to the top height to me thus making the ride really stiff. I climbed onto the rear bumper and tried to bounce the truck and it is like a rock. Like the bags are over inflated.

Golf/GTI VI :: Juddering And Feels Like Car Wants To Turn Itself Off

I've had this happen to my car lots and lots of times and taken it to Vw about 10 times to get it checked out and they always say nothings come up

When I start my car it runs perfectly fine, but later on it starts to shake and feels like the car wants to turn itself off.

I first thought it was to do with cold starts but it's happen in all sorts of temperatures, sometimes i've driven the car for 10 miles and the engine is at 90 degrees but it still happens.

Videos bellow show what happens.

The car is a 1.6 TDI ...

Golf IV R32 :: Front End Feels Sloppy And Loose

My R is almost at 70k miles and the front end feels sloppy and loose. What is the best option to restore that new car feel or even get it handling better than stock? I already have United Motorsport strut mounts which definitely improved the handling. ECS has some suspension refresh kits (links below), but the question is which one should I go with? Would the Stage 1 kit with OEM replacements be enough? Or should I go with the Stage 3 with Powerflex bushings? I'm always down for upgrading rather than simply replacing. I'm sure that would get it handling real nice, but would definitely create a stiffer ride, right?

Golf IV R32 :: Feels Harsh When Accelerate And Go Off The Throttle

When I get of the throttle my R is acting weird. It almost feels like the engine is moving, it doesn't feel smooth anymore. Also when I get to a stop and downshift it feels harsh . When I accelerate and go off the throttle it feels harsh, just if my engine would torque. But I checked the mounts and they are all good. Could this be something with the differential as well?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Feels Like Car Is About To Stall When Approaching Stop

weird thing happens in my 2.0 manual jetta. every 1500ish miles, when coming to a stop, it feels like my car is about to stall but its not in gear.The trip milage will reset, radio will turn off, dash will dim, but no CEL. Since then key fob doesnt work (replaced fob batteries), and my DRL are off. still cold starts no problem (figure its not the battery), trying to figure out if i can get closer to what needs a fix before tearing into something unrelated.

Golf/GTI VI :: Lost Power - CEL Flashing And Feels Like Misfiring?

I was driving home today and when I got on to the freeway, the car lost power and the check engine light started to flash like it was misfiring, also the EPC light came on. When I got off the freeway and let it idle, it idled rough until I turned the car off and put my APR flash back to stock. After that the car was idling fine and the check engine and EPC lights were gone. Everything seemed to be working fine until I hit about 75 mph. The car started sputtering again only as long as i tried to accelerate. Under light to moderate acceleration the car works fine up to about 70 mph. After that or under heavy acceleration the car sputters and the CE light flashes and then turns off.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2004 GLS Feels Jerky With Acceleration At Lower RPM

Have an 04 Jetta GLS 1.8t manual. While accelerating at lower rpm and I'm kind of on the gas to get up and go it starts bogging out. Could almost describe it as a little jerky. Anything over 3000 rpm there's no issue. Doesn't matter what gear I'm in either.

Golf/GTI VI :: 2013 - Steering Feels Sticky If Stop For About Five Seconds

I have a 2013 GTI (which I love) however the steering feels like it sticks very slightly. If I hold the wheel on center then apply a little pressure to turn if pops off center about 1/8 of inch and then moves fine. As long as I keep moving it, its fine. If I stop for about five seconds it sticks again. This really faint but annoying. It reminds me of an old recirculating ball steering system where the wheel had slop in it.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Sounds And Feels Like Misfiring But No Misfire Codes (VR6)

I get some bucking under load between 1500 and 3000 rpm. This issue is more noticeable when the engine is warm. When it does this it makes a sound that to me sounds like a misfire from the exhaust, but I've never gotten a misfire code.

Sometimes i get codes p0411 and p0420 (secondary air injection and cat efficiency) but VCDS tests say my cat and o2 sensors are all good.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Pulls Very Hard In 1st But Feels Sluggish In Second Gear

What could be the issue at hand here. I just recently bought a 337 edition gti and I absolutely love it. But the guy I bought it from says that it was chipped but he doesn't know what brand tune it is. But the problem, like the title suggests, is that in first gear the car pulls incredibly hard but as soon as I shift into second I lose all my momentum and it just feels sluggish.everyone that I've seen on these threads have said that I should be getting the most power I'm second and third gear. Is this tune just not a good one? Could there be something more?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Clutch Pedal Feels Soft Since Replacement - No Air Coming Out

I changed my oem clutch in my mk4 golf 2.0l with a stage 1 ecs tuning clutch kit. Lightweight flywheel, clutch disk, pressure plate and throw out bearing. But since I have my clutch pedal has been less stiff then usual. I like my clutch pedal as stiff as possible but it just isn't I bled off the slave cylinder. When I was done no air was coming out but it is still way to soft for me. What should I do next??

Golf/GTI VI :: E-Brake Sticky Feels Kind Of Crunchy Like Squashing A Plastic Bottle

So this morning I go out to my GTI to start up and release the E-Brake and the lever barely goes down and feels Squishy/Crunchy like your smashing a plastic water bottle. It rained last night and it was a bit cold (by So Cal standards, around 50 F, I know, we're all little schoolgirls in So Cal about the weather.)

So I raise and release the E-brake lever several more times and it gets a little better but not really. I manually push the lever down all the way to make sure the Brake light is not on and then drive to work. When I get to work and pull on the E-brake, it is fine. I raise and lower the lever a few more times and no sticky.

Of course, where I park the GTI faces a row of glass windows and I realize every time I raised and lowered the E-Brake this morning the HID DRL's were turned on and off several times, probably killing my HID's ....

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Car Is Bouncy After Installing Coilover

I just installed BC BR type coilovers on my 2010 Toyota Corolla S and now even driving at 55 on a smooth highway my car is a bit bouncy. Its really bouncy if I hit a dip or hole. The dampening setting is still at factory setting which is 8 clicks from full hard. I haven't lowered the car anymore than just putting the coilovers on so its about .5-1 inch lower than stock I would say.

Lexus GX 2010+ :: 2016 - Car Goes Bouncy On Highway Speed

The ride is okay until I reach concrete (grey colored) pavement on a highway going at highway speeds. Then it gets very bouncy, where even the st wheel vibrates. I can even hear some kind of noise coming from the back as it's bouncing on the highway. As soon as the pavement changes, this stops and it goes back to a comfortable ride. I also have some weird intermittent crunching type of noise that I hear while turning. But that is rare. There are about 700 miles on this car now.

Honda - Accord :: Suspension Bouncy / Car Leans A Lot When Going Around Corners

I have a 2003 Honda Accord V6. It has about 105K miles. The suspension seems a little bouncy. I would like better handling. The car leans a lot when going around corners. I've heard that new Honda struts are not as good for handling as some other brands.

I read that I should replace the dampers and springs together to get better handling. Most of the struts I've read about lower the car, however, I don't really want to lower it. I just want better handling for everyday driving. Am I on the right track?
