Tyre issue.... anyone known this problem before
bacillus:
Out of interest what pressure(s) have you been using?

I had the same thing as VRStu, had a wheel bearing replaced which made the noise better but then they realised the Dunlops were wearing unevenly and causing the droning noise. All was cured by fitting a set of Goodyear Eagle F1's :happy2:

dude this simply sounds like a case of bedded in tyres placed onto the opposite rims, ie the right rear is now on the left rear and the front right is now on the front left, so the bedded shape is now the exact opposite of the norm
the fix is to either swap the tyres back round onto the correct rims, wait for the shape to bed back in in the current configuration or buy new tyres and start fresh
option 1 :smiley:

How would that explain the horrendous noise on my new car (we were in Germany fully expecting a wheel bearing to fail and have to be recovered back).
SWMBO's car being ok then having three fitted which have not been moved since fitting.
It's the tyres - loads of people all over the VAG forums have issue with them.
