RE: new sound

I assume that it is coming from the front?

If so, welcome to the world of failing control arms.

You drive a b6 though, dont you oscar? That'd clear you from any control arms nightmare...

who knows, bring it in to them, tell them to have a look. Sounds are the most difficult thing to get help with over a forum

I wonder why... lol

Good luck though! You still workin on the pics?

RE: new sound

Well if it is a control arm issue expect $70 for parts and $100-200 in labor. Perhaps it is a lower control arm issue that will be addressed with the recall.
