Okay, so I think I posted in here when I first got the car about this noise. Apparently, it's pretty common on MK5 GTI's and GT Tdis.
Anyway, here's what I've done since then, and the noise remains.
- New tyres on the rear, Goodyear Eagle F1's as recommended by various MK5 GTI Forums for noise, handling, and wear.
- New rear discs and pads.
- Checked the wheels for any play that would suggest a failed wheel bearing, nothing. Wheels feel solid as do all the bushes as far as I can tell!
Here is a bad video I took on my private runway last night. If I veer to the right, the noise momentarily stops. Now Im not sure if this is weight being taken off the rear, right hand wheel? That would narrow down my search. I've also heard it can be something to do with the shocks?
You can hear the noise, almost sounds like I have a big bore exhaust. When you hear the noise dip, its because im tugging the wheel to the right.
Any help really appreciated :)
