Maybe vacuum pump? Also, are the wheel bearings ok, as wobbly bearings can cause this.

When it comes to refurbing it, Bob Morrison has done some good articles with pics that should help. When I bought my Lightweight, the dealer did all that crap for me. Have fun and good luck.

Hit 251000 miles today. D1 Love her to bits. 1997 tdi

Hopefully.................

It was just a thought
