Hi..
I have a 2007 TDi 170 Quattro with bmn engine code.
I have an issue if anyone has any input….
The steering at motorway speeds feels quite loose/floaty, like there’s abit of free play, I’ve heard these can have steering rack issues, is this a sign?
I was considering replacing the inner and outer tie rods but didn’t want to just start replacing things if the issue is with the rack itself
ive just had 2 new tyres fitted and didn’t make a difference
I’ve got a couple of clunks/nocks from the front suspension area too
ive bought new drop links and ball joints but haven’t got round to fitting them yet
Another problem I’ve got is the coolant warning light comes on when cold and then goes off after driving 10 mins or so but I’ve not lost any coolant, I’m assuming this is more than likely an issue with the sensor in the expansion tank?
Also the aux belt tensioner is jumping about constantly and is pretty noisy, I was going to fit a new tensioner but I’ve read that the alternator pulleys can be the issue. Anyone had any experience with this?
cheers
