Guest dwalshaw Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Hi everyone Another newbie to the site so please be gentle. I have just got my 1st gal, a 55plate 1.9tdi Ghia in black and have noticed a few things that I would like to sort out on it. 1) wind noise around drivers door at about 65mph. 2) slight brake vibration through steering wheel. (she had been stood for a while when I collected her and had rusty discs) 3) steering wheel off centre, how can I take the wheel off to centre it up properly without setting off the airbag? Any tips on these problems would be really helpful ThanksDave Quote
Neils TDi again Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 1) wind noise around drivers door at about 65mph.This is normally due to either damaged rubbers or a twisted door lower the glass and carefully push the top of the door inwards to reduce the noise. 2) slight brake vibration through steering wheel. (she had been stood for a while when I collected her and had rusty discs)Most discs will rust within 1 hour of a journey if the atmosphere is moist due to the heat retained by the discs, more likely it will need pads and discs replacing. 3) steering wheel off centre, how can I take the wheel off to centre it up properly without setting off the airbag?NO.... The alignment has been incorrectly set, are you aware of the history of the vehicle this and the twisted door may not be related but it would start me thinking about a "repair" of some description.

Guest dwalshaw Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 Thanks Neil. I did think about the history and if it has had a repair of some sort, they have done a pretty good job. i can`t see any other signs except that the front tyre on the drivers side does not match the other 3, although this could just be coincidence.The steering wheel is only slightly off so I will wait until it needs to go to Frauds for a service. I'll have a look at the discs and see what they are like and have a play with the door seal at the same time.Thanks again Dave Quote
