I was busy this morning, I decided to go out in the freezing cold to create a video of some noises and sounds from the steering and transmission on my T5. I like doing these videos because they say a million words in just a few minutes and it's also useful for anyone else who is finding the same noises on their car. The first part features some commentary by yours truely along with some interesting demonstrations, the second half really is just me revving the car up in gear and filming the noises from the outside of the car and underneath so you can have a listen from a different angle. It's almost as good as being there yourself!
Now, as always you'll have to forgive the lack of editing finesse with this video as it's really just a functional reference for people to look at. One thing I didn't mention in the video, is that on full lock I'm getting a 'knock, knock, knock' sound in both directions, but not whilst the front wheels are off the ground, only when the weight of the car is on the wheels. I suspect that's CV joints however the o/s driveshaft was only replaced in September 2012!!!
Upon searching for CV joints, I notice you can buy outer CV joints, but inner CV joints seem to be as rare as hens teeth and I don't know why. Maybe some of you can shed some light on that for me?
Anyway, the video......
Regards
James
