    Tyre noise

    My 2014 GTD has factory fit Bridgestone 225/40/18 all round. I replaced the front tyres at 18k with the same brand as I like to keep the car OEM. The car has now done 25k and over the last 5k the rear of the car has developed a sound a lot like worn wheel bearings. I took it to VW last...

    Newbie - just ordered Limestone GTD

    Hi everyone, I've just ordered my GTD! Can't wait. Its currently showing build week 13 apparently. Mid to end of April delivery. Its a few years since I've owned a VW. My last one was a 52 plate Mk4 GT 130PD. I loved that car! Anyhow, hoping to learn a lot and while away the...
