Hi, Not sure if this is a common problem, but my Mk3 is generally quite bouncy when driving, more so than my previous Mk3 Driver, and when I get up to about 70mph it feels as though the car is 'jumping back'?, this sometimes happens at slower speeds also. Cheers Dan
As though the car is fighting back. It vibrates through the car (passenger have noticed), similar to how the car behaves once at top speed. I can only really describe it as jumpy.
Are you talking about the ride quality then? Or is it more like the engine is moving; ie does it happen when you put your foot down, and again when you back off?
Yea I think it's an engine thing. When I put my foot down on the motorway to accelerate it seems to happen at about 65mph, and at slower speeds when I back off. A sort of judder that vibrates through the car. Once I pass 70mph it seems to disappear.
If it`s a `clunk` on acceleration/backing off then it`s most likely the front engine mount needs replacing. If it`s more like a constant vibration (through steering column?) then your wheels need balancing.
Thanks a lot mate. It makes sense for it to be the wheels because of how it generally drives anyway, but I will have a look at the mount as well. Thanks for your help.
hi.... strange you should mention 'jumpy' as my mk3 seems to get very twitchy at 70mph and above ??? it seems to jump everso slightly to one side or another if it hits a slight bump ? does any one know what could cause this ?
