It seemed to do something different today. When accelerating it seemed to over rev before coming back down to normal revs/acceleration. Not a loud over rev but more noticeable when looking at the rev counter.

Golf mk6 / MK6 GOLF GTI FEELS SLIGHTLY ROUGH TO DRIVE
« Last post by VW91 on 04 January 2026, 14:27 »
Hi all. Not long purchased a new GTI a 2012 (62) Plate 80K miles

Ive only done around 300 miles since owning the car and not long after purchasing the check engine light came on. Plugged in a cheap code reader and it had a misfire on cylinder 3. Turned out to be the coil pack so I replaced all 4 with new plugs. Just standard BOSCH from eurocarparts and 4 NGK plugs.

Engine light off and no more misfire.

When I’m driving the car it feels “rough” to drive like I can feel the road too much. Way too uncomfortable.  Tyres or suspension issues?

Slight squeak when I press the clutch peddle. Not loud and can only hear it slightly when the cars off not when driving.

seems like hesitation to accelerate when cold/ low gears and speed. very slight.

I’ve cleaned the MAF sensor and put in a new air filter.

4 Michelin tyres on OEM monza’s. Cars not been modified and it’s all standard.

No rattle on start up. Chain seems to be alright. You can hear it when you turn the car off

Any ideas or is this just the way it is?

Afternoon all,
Happy 2026!!
End of last year VW had my car mk8.5gti for over a month trying to
Find a Rattle in the cockpit, needless to say after argument after argument
My car is back and appears to be rattle free. I've got a private plate to go on it
And have been looking at doing the 4D style to make it stand out a little more.
Halfords are ridiculous prices and quality is poor. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for
A site to buy new plates from or any pics or suggestions to make it stand out??

Cheers

Bridgestone Potenza Sport for me. I find them really good all year and they always rate well in various car tests.

Just bought a set of PS5’s in 19” to replace the previous PS5’s in18”. Didn’t bother considering alternatives as to me, a great all year round tyre.

PS4/PS5 whatever’s cheaper. Both excellent tyres. I found the PZs to be good in the warm and dry, and pants in the cold. The pilot sports are great year round. The only other tyre I’d consider is possibly eagle F1 A6 if they were cheaper again.
