Mk1 Cabriolet 1982 squealing when driving
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

Re: Mk1 Cabriolet 1982 squealing when driving
Squealing? Since u checked wheel bearings im guessing the sound is coming from the wheels.. Check wheel alignment?

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on

+1, as the rubber seals get hard with age the tend to shrink, or you have a small tear some where, either could let air into the cabin.panic-mechanic wrote:Soft top leaking air?

Re: Mk1 Cabriolet 1982 squealing when driving
Surely a poorly sealed cabriolet top wouldn't lead to a squealing noise?
