Hi all,
I've recently bought my first GTi MK5 (a 2005, manual 3 door) and am loving it. I'm inherently a little paranoid when it comes to getting a new (used) vehicle and am also used to riding noisy motorbikes.
Everything about the car seems fine but it makes a bit of a whine/drone at low speeds in 1st and 2nd gears which is most noticeable inside the cabin. When you've got the window open and listening to the car from the outside, all you can hear is the lovely burble from the exhaust. This whine/drone is not noticeable when revving the car at stationary, only when moving.
Am I worrying about nothing? Is this the normal running noise of the GTi?
Cheers
