glad we could help out... it'll be good to see another waterpumper cruising round newy!

Go the newy golf crew. I smell a cruise in the air

**mollins** · 23-07-2006, 05:53 PM

mmm... cruise

the CV was well and truely jiggered... as soon as we pulled the boot back out came a rain of chunks of the dished washer, a lot of glittery grease and all the balls (hence the commando roll)... the splines on the driveshaft had been all bent too so we couldnt get the old CV off... so we ended up using a spare shaft from my shed... rednut was smiling so much he was about to bust his cheek bones when we backed it out of my driveway... made it all worth it haha

I`m so glad it had a happy ending.

That CV is probably one of the few bits of that car that have not been changed.

theres always the other cv joint...

the jetta is still bottoming out even with 2 people in the car.. i looked under the car yesty and found that the spring on the left side is disturbingly close to the wheel.. it looks as if the wheel would hit the spring when it goes up.. it seems a bit far to hit the guards or the roof of the arch?? i'll check the other side this arvo after work to check if its the same on the other side.. altho it only seems to bottom on the left side.
i cant exactly move the springs can i? any ideas on a temp fix.. nonety $ to buy new suspension.

Loon, what springs are on it, do you know?

cheers
