Noticed a slight squeaking noise coming from the from front right when moving forward slowly, anyone else get this or know what it is, not too bothered and could be at high speeds too but can't hear it

Washed the car and noticed my first bonnet stonechip, down to the primer, not huge, but really surprised how thin the Tornado paint is on the bonnet as well as the top of the wing - VW weight saving measures presumably!  :whistle:
You haven't used enough c2v3 on yours matt. I bet your dad doesn't have any stone chips  :grin:

Most of his was wrung out of the cloth and down the drain, along with my money!  :grin:

Will wait until the Summer when i'm off on shutdown and sort them all then. C2V3 still beading as per day one.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Hi Graham - I'm suffering from this too (started after the first 2,000 miles). You might want to post/follow this thread about it:

Hello All,
            Work has been pretty rubbish this year so got the chance to collect the car from my wife and fill with fuel(seems to be my job)! came home and gave it a good clean, fitted front rubber mats and new valve cover caps. Took some pictures, lets just hope my dinosaur brain has remembered how to attach them!   :smiley:
