Hi, my first time on the forum.
I own a 2004 1.8 petrol that has done about 130' k.
Removed prop shaft to change noicy bearings and the VCU which was getting rather stiff. Drive 2wd now and when the noicy bearing was out of the way, all of a sudden I hear new noices from under the front of the car.
1st gear ok, 2nd gear ok, 3rd gear some noice on low speed and low revs, 4th and 5th gear a lot of rumbling noice on low revsu my foot down going up hill. Goes silent when i come off the throtle. Over 2000 rpm and easy terrain - no sounds at all-
Any ideas anyone?
