technical query
Hi All
Just bought a 1970, 1600 Automatic!
Over the last couple of days the steering wheel has started to judder quite violently for anything from 10-45 secs then goes off!
Any ideas?? I have checked wheels & nuts & steering rods, all seem to be ok!
Bit of a mechanical biff, so all help greatly appreciated!
Where would be best place to take it too round Mango Hill!
Cheers |

Hi
Welcome along, can you tell us what sort of car it is? Is it a Beetle or a Type 3?

if the car bus has been of the road for any length of time the tyers may be about to fall apart or a quick fit of some tyers for sale may need
balencing what ever is the problem its dangerous so get to a tyer place and let them have a look
