scottishpaul Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Whilst negotiating a speed bump in a hotel car park at the weekend (crawling pace due to the snow and ice) I heard an extremely loud bang. Was able to check the car in daylight, expecting to find that i had blown a tyre, however i have discovered that the front o/s wheel arch is sitting low on the wheel. Managed to limp home which was only a mile or so but not happy. I am assuming the shock/spring has gone. Anyone experienced similiar? (Driving a '01 Passat Sport.)

steve2 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 it is a very common problen on VAG cars, google it and if it has gone it might be worth doing both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIDYDUBS Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Road springs go on the fronts on these 3B Passats quite bad actually. The road springs are in general for all makes of car these days suffer from breaking not just VAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
