Wheel hop crazy - front left
rich83:
Come on guys... you shouldnt need to spooge 1200quid on KW-V3 to stop wheel hop! There must be something not right with one of the front end components!
paulk:
sorry to hear you have problems steve....Vw racing fitted all the mods on the car , diff miltek REVO etc ....I never had any banging knocking from any thing , the suspension felt tight no oil spills etc. I always had the car checked and can say nothing was loose...Id take it to another tuner for some else to look it over before you spend any more money.
I will say the diff did kinda skip when it was workin hard tryin to get grip, the rs does the same....
SteveS:
Paul, I don't blame you in anyway... just want to get it resolved :happy2:
We did hear the noise on the test drive in the car park, but you said it was the diff.. i knew no better, but i cant believe it's the diff, even vwr said it shouldn't be making any sounds and it definitely wasn't that when i took simon for a drive..
Still waiting for matt to reply although i don't expect one, especially at Christmas so ill have to call him in the new year.. :xmassmiley:

....Installing the two front engine mounts WILL most definitely transfer more sounds from the engine bay to the cabin - I can't believe Simon @ VWR said otherwise.
I guess that weather conditions stopped you from doing a proper test drive by hammering it through a few of those Milton Keynes roundabouts.
I would go back to VWR before approaching any other tuner - VWR will be very keen to make sure your car is as it should be and will in my long experience of them always do all they can to help. Mixing it up with third parties at this stage helps no-one.
VWR open again on January 4th.
