Does anyone have any ideas what these problems could be? They happened all on one drive home! Car is a MK4 Golf 2.slow
1- Started car after it was parked in the cold all day, and it sounded horrible just idling, as if the muffler was pierced or something... After driving for a few minutes, sound got back to normal. First time this ever happened.
2- Everytime I went over a bump, major rattle coming from front suspension (in particular left front...)
3- When driving at speed (above 80km), the second I steer left, whisling sound from left front wheel area. I can produce this sound with my pinkie on the wheel, that little is needed. If I don't touch the wheel, or steer right, no sound comes.
4- Might be my imagination, but it feels like I have no traction whatsoever starting from a standstill... As soon as I put some power down, even on dry pavement, right front starts spinning...
5- Other general "weird" sounds that don't inspire confidence...
I realize it's winter, and I drive a VW, but even so, this really began this afternoon! Not even a hint of these sounds this morning. *banghead* I have a theory on what it is, but won't mention it until I get some of your opinions. Thanks!
