Have you got wind noise?

So is this a 3 door issue?

Mines very quiet.

Taff_09 says that his 5dr is the same. Both my MK6's have not suffered nice and quiet and much better than the MK5 I had.

mine is a 5 Door so most prob one of the unlucky ones..

My car is a late 2009 model with 5 doors. The annoying thing is that as it seems to depend on the wind direction relative to the car, I can turn a corner and the noise goes away, so far it seem the front passenger door is only door affected. I did search other forums and it seems the left hand front door is affected more, perhaps that's just the threads I came across.

It's very annoying as I've been in a Seat Leon FR and it's not got this annoying problem. It just spoils a nice car.

Adjusting the door helped, I could've had the door adjusted in more, but it looked stupid if it wasn't flush with pillar. So it seems the door seals aren't thick enough or rigid enough.

Guys, checked with my dealership who said there is NO TPI. They've been told about one a few times, and even contacted VW UK, who contacted Germany and they supplied a German TPI but that fix didn't work. The wind noise on my car was resolved by adjusting the seals, but they admitted this doesn't work in every case and they've had a MK6 come in several times and it's still not fixed.

Scott, I have noticed you had an a3 before your golf! This won't help with the noise problems of the golf, they are light years ahead when it comes to sound insulation.

When I swapped to my r32 from my a3 the first thing I noticed was the road noise from the front arches was silly. (although the superb engine noise took my attention away)

I found my A3 much quieter than the Golf 

but I think it was partly down to the tyres and I had insulated the doors. The Bridgestone's on the GTI are noisey as hell! I was running coilovers, ARBs etc on the A3 too so it's difficult to remember it standard. RIP A3, it was stolen last week from the new owners house and hasn't been seen since!

No issues with my 3 door either.
