Loud rumble???

[Davstylee]

Thanks guys for the help. Will be investing in some new tyres soon, fingers crossed that sorts things out.

Im also looking for blubs, and its a toss up between the highly rated Philps or the night breakers, which are cheaper. Suggestions, comments?

Another thing I noticed today is that my engine on idle is really clunky and sounds like a diesel. Any ideas what might be causing that?

They all do it mate.

............no they don't.Is it an 05 with the AXX engine code by any chance ?.If it is do a search on here for '' my gti sounds like a diesel''. Mine was doing the same,worse when warmed up to temp.Turns out it's the small cam chain & tensioner,right hand side of the engine & ''yes'' there is a cam belt as well. I managed to get mine changed under a warranty i got with the car,sounds perfect now.

Are you saying if you replace the cambelt it stops sounding like a derv?

[nick30]

worked for me, sounds like it did gene too.

my car is silent now all year long. all you can hear is the exhaust
