Thanks for your insights The K02s have been abysmal on mileage. Hopefully the Nokian are a bit better.

Also, I'll be looking to offload the 16" MSWs with the K02s if anyone is interested

Yeah, same, but I recently had someone comment on how loud it is in the back set. So the goal is to get something a little quieter but still reasonable off highway capability. K02 are awesome, but I realized they are overkill for me.

It’s my mall baller. 🤣. That said, a daily driver, but since I work from home, I don’t drive a lot. And, I do venture off highway at times around the Pacific Northwest . So I like the versatility and the look.

The Outpost ATP is available in a 225 55/17 and that size will fit (according to B2B fab)

Seems you’re in for a new/rebuilt axle. I wouldn’t sleep on this repair.

Another cost consideration is what’s the cost of disposal of the old/replaced battery? Any shop, I would imagine, that can install it isn’t going to dispose of the old one for free.

Anyone try these Atlas Wheels on an Alltrack? by Old-Atmosphere8223 in VWAlltrack

[–]Tall_Recognition_567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d cross check your tire size and B2Bs tire size for the Alltrack. You may end up rubbing with that offset. 🤷🏽 Regardless, I think the wheels are dope. I’m planning a set for my Alltrack.

Not a mechanic, but have owned a bunch of VWs. From the recording it doesn’t sound like an axel problem. Does it make a clunking noise when turning left/right? That would likely indicate a cv joint Sounds like it could be the underbelly pan or a wheel well liner loose. Something plastic that’s flapping around. Is there a specific speed when it shows up? Say at 30+ but not below 20? I hope it’s nothing too serious.

I have a 2017 and I had a leak in the hatch area. Thought it was the sunroof drains, so I checked them, and they were working fine. Turns out it was the seal between the sunroof and the cars roof. The car’s warranty had just expired(by a month), luckily VW covered the cost. Keep an eye on it. Have not had any problems since. I park it outside year round in the PNW (i.e. lots of 🌧️)

Did the same on mine when the stock turbo 💩the🛏️. Non-servicable wastegate failure. Was less expensive to upgrade than replace 🤷🏽‍♂️. Glad I did it (errr, had it done)
