The steering went very wobbly on our 200tdi at low speed and the NS front wheel collapsed - part of the hub / brake disc mounting had sheared off.
I will try to upload a couple of pictures.
Firstly has anyone else experienced anything like this?
My thoughts are so far (although my garage has not given an opinion yet) that the best option would be to find a complete front axle as the cost of all the bits would make it uneconomical to repair.
The advice I am looking for is what axle can I fit? Does it need to come from a 200tdi manual or will other similar ones fit eg 300tdi or auto? or maybe just using the hubs etc of a different axle?
its a K reg 200tdi with a KA chassis number.
Any views & advice appreciated so I can get back on the road ASAP.
Thanks
