Ouch, how much did you get shafted for?Can pick up good 2nd hand shafts for around £25! Shame timing was so critical! ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

I needed it for work asap so ended up paying £500 for a throttle body (and I sourced the part myself to save money)  ________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

i did have a very similar problem a month back, i couldnt drive the car over about 40 mph before i literaly thought the car was going to come apart with the shaking, was very vary bad. i thought the worst but that turned out to just be a wheel balancing problem. likes its been said so many places get it horibly wrong with the wheels being centreless. it took me 4 different garages before someone got mine right. then it was spot on after that. i couldnt belive that just the weights could make such a violent shake but that was what it was for me |

I did this last week after loosing 1 weight - removed the other 8 weights and the wheel runs balanced. This might just be lucky but a few people I know have experienced similar results. Makes me wonder if weights are needed after a NEW tyre has bedded in. 8 weights??? Surely that's a lot of balancing?? I also think the same about rebalancing after tyres wear in or in fact just as routine every so often as I do notice that cars start to lose that super smooth feeling they get with new tyres after a couple of thousand miles. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

WTF are you doing with this bump?I'm currently listening to new Little Boots song called Shake and thought it was a thread about this. I quite like it Back On Topic. Nope never encountered a need to rebalance in between tyre changes on 4 sets of clones that I've had and numerous tyres per corner. Then again I don't get a plate spinner to balance my wheels. ________________________________________ Black X Reg PIII.VGTi 6 A4212 pt 1 A4212 pt 2 Searching the streets of Bristol for 1.36p/day.Joint Kent Leader |
