hey everyone i have a 04 jetta 1.8t and my cv axle was bad so these mechs supposedly fixed it by putting a 1.9 TD axle on. i called vw and they said it is the wrong part but these mechs keep insisting that it is fine. but everytime i punch the gas i get a vibration under my car....so can someone help me out on this????

 

I think they are wrong but, a lot of times a bad cv joint will cause your wheel bearing to go out.

 

we will see im taking it back to them tomorrow and they are replacing the axle with another one...i hate other people working on my car...but thank you for your help

 

well they replaced the axle but there is still a vibration under the drivers side of my car...i have no idea what it is and the guy who worked on my car said he couldnt feel it so i drove the car with him in it and he didnt say anything...im now going insane because i dont know what it is...

 

Did they replace the wheel bearing?

 

yep and that was on the passenger side and the vibration is on the driver side...my sister said she cant feel the vibration on the passenger side and it on does it when i punch the gas...im getting so mad im about to pay the money and take it to VW.

 

It could still be your other axle.

 

that is true but they seen that the passenger side one was bad by putting on my lowering springs so why wouldnt they see the other one?

 

Did you put on a special swaybar to realign your lowered car?

 

nope....any suggestions on any? i really do appreciate all your help...i dont know anyone people down here that drive VWs
