I have a noise coming out of my car that has me worried. It’s kind of a blend of a rattle and knock… knaka-naka-naka-naka that rises subtly on the highway when I take my hand off the steering wheel. Yes, there’s a little road vibration that’s transmitting to the steering wheel. I noticed it ever so subtly two or three weeks ago, but this weekend, it’s suddenly bad enough that I think I need to get it fixed.
My question is, do I need to get this fixed asap, or just soon.
Year: 1997
Make/Model: VW GTI VR6
Transmission: 5 speed manual, front wheel drive
Also, can somebody recommend a good VW mechanic in Seattle – not the eastside… I need to be able to ride my bike to it.
