Somehow knocked a sensor? Does it do it under light acceleration? Normally a wheel sensor slightly pulled out or the steering wheel LAT sensor out.

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

Sensors all look to be in place.

Depends on steering angle really although it did it in an almost straight line last night whilst changing from 3rd to 4th at about 50mph  :undecided:

Tread is evenly matched on both sides. I had 4 wheel alignment done at the time and everything was spot on. It had was virtually identical to the last alignment check 12 months ago

Going to check the pressures in a bit

Pressures are fine  :undecided:

What was unnerving was a put it into a bend i know i can comfortably take at 50mph+....as soon as i hit 35/40 the front left began breaking. I changed direction to go left and it then braked the right front. I had no throttle applied  :undecided:

Hooked up VAGCOM earlier so noted the measuring blocks. I suspect its the left front ABS sensor thats taken a knock  :smiley:
