I've had something simular....a weird kind of rotational noise, almost like a knackered bearing sound which seems to be speed related and  you notice it a lot when braking or coasting down all the way to a stop.

You can feel a vibration in the pedal/steering/seat and there is definate wobbling through the steering.

So far I've checked all the bushes, ARB, brakes etc for any obvious issues and it all looks ok, even had both front wheel bearings & wishbones replaced but it's still doing it. There is a very slight feathering to the inside of the tyres but I'm not convinced that's the cause. Am trying to pinch someone at work's TDI at the weekend so I can swop wheels over to confirm.

Run your finger on the inside or all your tyres - do you feel the 50p shape?

Discs on the front are maybe 6 months old?

It's weird how it only does it when coasting, or accelerating really steadily.  And the faster the car is going, quicker it gets.

Seriously, the car's really pissing me off at the moment.  Wish I'd just got rid of it a while back  :sad:
