No, I’ve owned this car for 7 years, this started happening about a year and a half ago, right around the time I swapped wheels/tyres, front sway bar endlinks, upper strut mounts and coil overs(did all this at the same time), it was never like this before that.
I’ve checked all suspension components, everything looks and feels rock solid, there’s no play anywhere, don’t

I have what sounds like the same issue. In my case it is because the car is actually moving slowly backwards when on an incline. Even if leave in gear, it will do it a little before settling.
I found that the handbrake on one side wasn’t working, meaning that the other side was doing all the work.
Easy way to check is to jack up the car and have both wheels in

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my request for help.
However I’d already ordered my new set up from awesome GTi.
Went for a Tarox Discs (F2000) & Pads.

Some times the prongs get stuck on the cd player when you put the tools in..try removing it and swap with the other side

Aye. The only thing I found of interest was a set of H&R springs from Demon Tweeks for £150, so grabbed a set. Just need to try and find some B6/B8s to go with them for a good price now.

You can buy a licence for a month - there are listings on ebay & Aliexpress - a lot cheaper on the latter
VW were on the ball enough to start building stuff in china, faster than most other manufacturers, they have their own domestic versions - this means pretty much everything since the Mk4 is catered for.
I would suspect that if it has to handshake to the

Only you can answer those questions after you've driven it on your local roads mate  I would perhaps choose 10mm front, 10mm rear if your roads are bumpy. You can also achieve the same track widening by using Scirocco rear hubs (+15mm) and Passat front hubs (+10mm I believe, but can't find confirmation). It's a neater, oem solution

The OEM holder? - thats got push pins that expand in the holes.
Or you could stick the plate to the bumper without holder...needs a lot of sticky pads and bending - but looks better than with holder.

Very tidy one! Nice to see a OEM one too nbsp 
Any plans?
Nothing major, once it has coped with winter and proved reliable then I may treat her to an exhaust, induction system and a stage1 map. A few areas of bodywork could benefit from some paint, but I w

£1.54 for Momentum when I looked yesterday. Thankfully I do so few miles it doesn't really matter, a full tank will last over 2 months. I live on a terraced street with no off road parking but me and the Mrs have discussed selling our cars and getting a fully electric car to share, need to see how we'd go about charging it before deciding.

It's far from awesome in it's appearance, and how do you know a car released less than 12 months ago is reliable? I saw one at night for the first time last week. "What the f'ck is that weird Tron looking thing coming towards me?" I thought, oh, of course....it's an ugly attention seeking MK8 Golf  Why oh why have full width DRLs? It looks terrible!
