It feels like a slight inbalanced wheel so its getting checked today but mine seems to do it as different speeds really, my wishbone bushes are worn aswell so that wont be helping so there getting changed today to poly solid bushes.

I had mine checked by vw who noted the noise/vibration but checked everything in the suspension couldnt find anything wrong. i have had my wheel checked and nothing wrong with them so looks like al just have to live with it.

Hope you get it sorted its not a nice thing to have

The HP numbers are wheel HP...not BHP. WHP is on average about 15% less than BHP. So 304whp = 357bhp!  :jumping:
I looked in on some results from a dyno/RR day in Florida and DriverMotorsport's recently developed K04+ tune...an APR K04 tuned mkv had a baseline the day before on a dyno dynamics setting a 275whp and 280lb*ft. The next day with the DM K04+ resulted in 304whp and 325 lb*ft...same temps and the humidity was higher when the DM tune's dyno/RR was done. I've been seriously considering a DM switch...so today I decided this is the next upgrade for me and the mkv. Also, I have the opportunity for a custom DM tune when and if I choose to upgrade the connecting rods...and DM believes I would reach over 360whp at that point....330whp would have me smiling forever ;p
Supposedly the dyno-dynamics results in lower numbers than a dyno-jet, that I use, so getting impatient to get this done now that DM dyno numbers are beginning to pour in.
I dyno/RR at 285whp and 363lb*ft and wonder what my own increases will be ;p
APR K04 - 275WHP, 280TQ
DM K04+ - 304WHP, 325TQ
