- none - yet. Used to have a '02 MK4 Golf GLS TDI
My '02 Golf GLS TDI with 137,000+ miles has a strange sound coming from the front end somewhere. Sounds like the tires rubbing on the inner fenderwell - but this I confirmed is not the case. Its a loud deep hum - but here is the strange part - turn right ever so slightly, or completly - and the sound goes away completely. But once steering straight or turning left - the the humm is consistent. Hit a bump and I want to say the sound disappears for only a brief second.
What I have done - jacked up the car and removed both front tires - checked for anything rubbing - nothing found. That is about the limit of my mechanical genus.
So - I come to where the TDI genus' live. Any ideas? Someone mentioned maybe wheel bearings going bad?
