What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Pedestrian]

Could be worth checking if the tyre weights haven't come off causing the balance to be out. Have you had 4 wheel lazer alignment after fitting as that could be another possibility.

Had lazer alignment done, I know there are new weights on the passenger side but not sure about the drivers side, however there is nothing on there now (that's the side I think it's coming from, although that could be because it's closest).

Would an MOT pick something like that up? Got mine in 3 weeks...

I doubt it would be picked up on the MOT as they don't go fast enough on the brake test for it to show up. I has the same issue on my focus after changing the front and rear wheels over. I got them re-balanced for a few pounds at a local tyre fitters and the problem was solved. Worth it if you can see there are no weights on there and is the cheapest first port of call IMO.

lol, thanks.

I normally put Tesco Momentum 99 in mine, so just seeing if it runs better or worse using the V power to that or not. If not, i'll continue using Momentum 99

I used to run my Ibiza on Tesco 99 then switched to v-power, stuck with shell just for the reward points in the end, I'm considering going back to Tesco though just because it's cheaper, only 3 minutes away and I can't say as I noticed any real difference between the two.

Had some EBC 345 disks grooved and drilled fitted today along with yellow stuff pads.
Looks great! Performance I will come back and let you know once they are bedded in properly

Fitted my Gti pedals, new mats, armrest and new rear wiper. Can't believe I went this long without an armrest, easily the best thing I've purchased for my FR so far.

To update on this, the knocking comes on at 65mph as before, and then if I start slowing down it slows down with the speed of the car. However if I stop and pull away it isn't there until I get to speed.

Is the undertray rear fixings secure?
Sounds like it maybe the undertray flapping once at speed.
Just a thought

 

[benj1989]

Sounds to me like wheel weights I had the same ish with my Scooby.
