Tyres wearing way too fast on Edition 30!
thomsonpop:
Okay so car has been into a new garage. They have found the following:
Wheels way out of alignment due to:
OSF coil Spring
S/Arm bush
NSF lower arm
Being fixed next week.
thomsonpop:
Thanks everyone for your help and advice. This has been fixed, although they put the wrong spring on (Standard GTI, not Eddy) so it has to go back in for replacement!
mjmallia:
Thought the suspension was the same between GTI and ED30
I assume they did both sides and not just one
thomsonpop:
Just OSF spring I think. They may have even put a non-gti spring on there then...
mjmallia:
Suspension parts should be replaced in pairs, as age and wear effects them. A 100k spring will be more compressed than a fresh equivalent.
If it is a new GTI/Ed30 spring fitted then the other side is most probably shot.......or as you say a non GTI spring was fitted.
BUT as mentioned it should be done in pairs (suspension struts, springs, brake discs, pads, bushes etc), to make the handling and braking even
