Hay folks, I thought I might drop a line here.
My A3 tfsi died ☹️, so I have picked up a 06 plate 2.0 tdi of engine I believe @ 146k for penny's to get me buy till I can save up.
When I'm driving the car at 30+ and I push the go pedal there is a bit of a rattle and vibration, and the car pulls to the left a reasonable amount aka if I let go of the wheel I would be off the road in under a few seconds, and when I let off the throttle it veers to the right with the vibration disappearing.
When I got the car the front tires were shot so I have got some fresh rubber in the corners, I was kind of hoping that was the issue, but if anything it actually seems worse.
I was wondering if any one had any ideas that I can try, I'm more than happy to send photos etc of what ever anyone would need to see to get an idea of suspension components etc.
Ideally I want to spend pretty much nothing on this car as it cost £400 🤣.
But if I have to replace a tie rod end or somit im sure I can stretch to it.
Btw when not accelerating the car hold a pretty decent straight line, which is more than could be said for my RIP A3 👍🏼.
Many thanks,
Dave
