I know what the problem is!!!!  Is a new car...  Get a MK1, so much more simpler and reliable

hello ! i think this is the first mk4 2 litre GTI on the site ?
The hard pounding you're getting (ooer missus) sounds like dodgy ABS, your car must be fairly new so should still be covered under warranty.

MK2's you mean
