Hey man! I sent you a PM, but are you still looking to do that tensioner update? Just trying to figure out when I should go about acquiring the tool to hold the pulley. My other one is at home in the poconos
Yeah I got it just isn't looking too feasible atm I had some issues pop up on the VR6. You ever do any work on MKIV?
Well the most immediate concern is either a wheel bearing or CV joint. I have some speed based noise sounds like from front drivers side. Most noticeably around 40mph. I jacked the car up and don't have any play in either front wheels. I also noticed I have a little vibration in the brake pedal that's new and I believe to be an additional symptom of this problem.
In addition to that I believe I am hearing the beginning of the timing chain rattle so I would be interested in addressing this as well.
I think I changed every wheel bearing in my MK4 in the 4 years I had it, so they aren't uncommon. The vibrating brake pedal may be due to the wheel bearing. Is this a 12v or 24v?
12V 2000 GLX
I just don't know if its the bearing for sure or not though. No play on the wheel makes me wonder if it might be a CV joint? I can feel the vibration in the floor (mildly).
*Its not wheels/tires as noise is present on both my winter steelie set and brand new rubber stock wheel summer set.
What would you charge to change it out?
hmmmm I just flipped 60k
anything I should do for preventive?
