    Steering column mystery noises

    My car just failed the mot due to excessive play in the rack. The garage swapped tie rod and track rod ends as they appeared to have play, but still not enough for mot. Only the new rack fixed it. I have seen the old rack and it showed axial and a lot of radial play on the rack bar itself...

    Smokey TDI Cupra

    Hi Folks, My TDI is a bit smokey when I accelerate. Also the turbo smooling is much more noticeble. All the pipes are connected but oily. I cleaned the EGR Valve, because after nearly 100k it was a bit of a mess and I thought the smoke was cause by the mucky EGR. But this is of the list now...

    Interesting thread. Can some body tell some shops to buy the egr delete kit for my ARL? Clean inlet manifold would be good to investigate. Mine has 88000 miles on the clock and heard about this clogging in the manifold. Which parts should also be cleaned? Anyone got a part number(s) by...

    Strange rattling noise

    I believe headguards would create a differen noise. It really sounds like a heavy "clonk" which is related to the rotation of the wheels. The mechanics idea was, just drive it until it breaks. The we fix the broken part...
