Typicall VAG issue, the rubber on silent bloc when the weather is cold.

They are creaking. Nothing wrong, I have the same issue on my Polo


i did notice its worse when cold. The car is quite low mileage, and drives good, no clacking when turning wheel,
but i just remembered some time ago, it ...

Hi everyone,

just wondering if anyone has any ideas what makes the creaking sound at the front right when going over bumps, it sounds like rubber rubbing, like a creaking noise.
I looked at the suspension , and its seems good, looked at the top of the strut mounts, two photo here of the right strut ...

update, last year i bought one of those cans off ebay and the valve. The can was supposed to have sealant inside too. It worked, but it only lasted a few weeks or months, i think it leaked out again.

UPDATE: 2023. been a long while, the new replacement switch seems to have worked ! hope it helped someone else

appreciate your response iichel, the drivers inside tyre wear might point to something being off, when the slight excess camber you mention is on the other sides tyre (passenger), i think i might try swapping over the wheels, see what that does

yes, i have the second one, copy below, where he said it was in spec. after this, a few months ago i gave the right wheel half a turn.toe out.

yes, the garage had changed the inner tie rod end for the mot.

Hi, had a recent MOT, there was actually nothing wrong with the car it was driving perfect and straight, but the garage said the front right inner tie rod end needed changing as he claimed there was excesssive play. I disagreed as the car drive perfect, and the 'play' was not visible to me. It was ...

update:
the airbag ight came back on, i think after a while ?
this time i metered the resistors on the pcb, one looked short circuit ?

A friends code reader confirmed 9445417 manufacturer specific, it said switch out of range, or something similar.

This time i replaced it. I didnt disconnect ...

Car can pull even if your left and right tires arent evenly worn.

they are both even and when on the tracking machine the laser reading was on 7.5mm and 6.5mm, whatever that means.

the tyres were same brand and model, same tread, same wear ( 4.5mm)

Try taking it to a different Kwik fit and tell them that you had the tracking done elsewhere and hopefully they'll feel sorry for you and slag off the other depot and fix your car properly this time. For free ideally.
And in future have less hope that mechanical problems will fix themselves. They ...

Hi everyone, hope someone can advise, my polo drove perfectly staright before i had an MOT, and the guy said it needed an inner track rod end replacing.
I asked for him to try and restore the threads as before, he said it will need tracking afterwards anyway.
Immediatley after the MOT i noticed the ...

thanks eveyone, I think I can now hear the AC motor come on when the AC button is pressed, and also when idling i can just hear a fridge like sound recirculating, and the error codes have not come back yet after i cleared them, and although the pressure sensor looks clean, i would like to know how ...

yes
" there was no solder on the pins !!!!! so i soldered the 3 pins in properly,"

i didnt take a pic of that sorry, but its easy enough with a soldering iron/ solder, you have to make an electrical connection
at the base of the pins with the circuit pad on the pcb junction.

can anyone help with ...
