Title: 1 week today
Post by: TOONARMY on March 06, 2010, 09:02:18 am

Good morning all.
Well ive had the GTI a week today and i 99% love it. I used to own a clio 197 cup which was nice, but it was just uncomfortable and harsh to drive day to day. The GTI on the other hand is quick comfy and just nicer. The car is going in today for 3 things, the boot is going to be adjusted (hopefully lol :happy2:), there is a rattle from the boot and a wheel bearing tyre noise which i am suspecting is the tyres ( p zeros). Before the car was handed over, it had the cambelt, service, MOT, all 4 wheel refurbed a good valet etc. Very impressed overall. I just need to get the 3 little things sorted then im at 100%

Could well be the tyres. I had this on my car and my dad's had it on his Octavia. I believe it's to do with the weight distribution causing the rear tyres to wear unevenly. We have both had a new set of rears since and the noise has completely gone so fingers crossed for you mate :happy2:
