Thanks both, seems to be a bit hit or miss when it wants to do it. I've had the car 5 months and done almost 13k in so she doesn't get driven on short journeys very often. I have another car that I use to tootle around town so the derv only gets used for long journeys to and from work and around. I'll get some additive to see if it improves anything. Cheapest thing to start with anyway!

Hi All, Was just wanting to make a post just incase anyone has ever had something similar and might know where to start looking or what could be my issues. I have a 2013 2.0 TDI CR140, on about 107k. Having a bit of an odd issue when on cold start, between 1600-2000 rpms. Most noticeably in 1st or 2nd the car seems to hesitate when revving up. Sort of like on off on off on off, only on partial throttle or what I would consider standard throttle when cruising up to speed. As soon as you're past 2000 rpm, goes away. If you give it the beans and full throttle it to get up to speed, its absolutely fine, and once it gets up to temp she runs spot on. No issues at all. Seems to be sporadic but I have noticed it more recently. Running a diag, no codes or anything. I'm not 10/10 mechanically minded but I know what I am looking at for most things. Any thoughts or ideas would be great, have got it booked in for a proper diagnostics I just know if cars if you ignore the problem its most likely going to get worse! Joe

Yes, I suppose I could get the right hand side done to just tick it off the list. However it'll need to wait as it cost me £270 for the left hand sides and will cost me the same for the right hand sides! Just does seem very odd to me, I will continue my search. I am optimistic i'll figure it out as I really like the car, just a shame as soon as i've purchased it i've got this issue.

Hi all, Figured I'd consult the forums as I'm not really sure where to look or what could be causing this. Just picked up myself a nice 2013 plate MK2 SE and I'm really pleased with it. It's my first time with a VAG car so I'm relatively new to them. Everything is great with the car, its only on 97k so I am optimistic for many years of driving, however I do seem to have a strange issue when I'm travelling at highway speeds. At around 62mph you can hear it come in, it's the distinct rhythmic hum, sort of like a voooom...... voooom....... vooooom, that I believe is coming from my rear left. However it seems to just reverberate around the car. It's not loud loud, but definitely annoying now that I've noticed it. It's most noticeable at around 69-70 mph (typical as thats the speed limit), and you can feel a slight vibration around this speed that coincides with the hum. However I can only feel it in the foot rest, the steering wheel gives absolutely nothing at all and is silky smooth. I've tried the following but to no fix yet: I've replaced all left hand side wheel bearings as I believe its definitely the left hand side. I've rotated my tires around to see if the noise moves, it does not. Tyre pressures are correct I've had a full alignment to see if that was out and a few tiny tweaks but again no fix. I had my front two tyres replaced as I could tell the front left had stepped. So there are fresh tyres on the front and the rears have good tread and no sign of saw toothing. When you get past about 72 mph, the vibration seems to stops but the hum seems to get higher pitched. To the point you can barely hear it, but it is there still. Just higher pitched. As you slow down you can feel the vibration through the foot rest again around 70 and as you get below 62 mph. It's gone. Can't hear anything at all, or feel anything and its lovely an quiet. I just wanted to see if anyone else has had something similar or is just a thing with these cars? Or is there definitely going to be a problem. Many thanks all! Joe Spencer
