2005 T5 front end noise CV joint maybe ?

[Sunny43.5]

If they are any good to you I have two front struts out off our 2011 T5 they have only done 1500 kms as I replaced the whole set up with Coil overs You can have them for $300 for both plus freight , we bought the van new late last year as it was superceded stock that's why the low kays

Thanks - will see what the dealer says tomorrow. I think it is just the top mounts that need re-doing. It should be covered under warranty...

What is the benefit of coil-overs? Not that I know what a coil-over is.

EDIT/UPDATE: The dealer fixed it, so all is well. Also found a mob in North Sydney that will service the Caravelle - quoted about a third of the price of Northshore VW for the struts.

We mainly fitted them to lower the van as we fit two wheelchairs into the back of ours and the lowering just makes it easier to get them up the ramp , plus there are the odd place that the height can be an issue so every few mls lower helps .
