After 4000 km I noticed this strange thing. I never noticed it before.

 

When going in a curve, there is a vibration/noise, as if driving over furrows or grooves on the road (as if a tracked vehicle left its traces on the road).

It happens when the steering wheel is around the position 11 or 1 o'clock.

 

First I thought the road is like that, but then after the fifth curve I got suspicious. IT is the steering wheel position.

 

It is not very loud, but noticeable.

 

Strange, that was on Saturday, but now on Monday it does not seem to happen any more.

 

 

I have a 1.5 TSI with manual gearbox, hatchback,  wheel are 16" "TWISTER AERO" 7J , tyres 205/60R16

 

Anyone else had this?

Maybe something stuck in the tyre tread which has now dropped out?

Could be. I did suspected the tyres a bit , but ... it was just a thought.

 

We'll see how it goes...

Probably tyre related

Check all your tyre pressures (especially now weather has got colder).

 

Don't forget if you use summer tyres in colder weather, they can be rather hard and not grippy.  Much more likely to feel irregularities if tyres are hard.

 

 

 

 

Check the inside track line of the tyres maybe, it got damaged.

If you are having that problem down south us up north stand no chance.
