Hello guys!
New here. I just bought a 1982 Mk1 Golf Cabriolet in lightening orange a few days ago. Absolute beauty, but came with a fair share of issues.
One which I'm struggling with quite badly is a squealing sound that gets louder the faster I drive. We've replaced bearings, brakes and Cv joints without any luck.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks for your help

It's not how you stand by your car; it's how you scrape your car. You better learn that.
