Standstill. Once I have got my car back, I am going to try whether the noise only comes on with the fan / air-con on. I am suspecting loose / defective engine mounts.Originally Posted by GTR27

From both inside the car (and vibration in the steering wheel), in the engine bay and outside of the car with the hood down.

Haven't had a chance, will do it though after getting the car back.

Had the car checked with the dealer and they achknowloged that the noise and vibration is there and is related to the air-con or the flaps.
I have also told them that when the air-con is on, I could feel the vibration in the steering wheel and hear a low frequency noise. Going to bring it back and leave it with the dealer for few days after 26/1, hopefully I will be getting a VRS as a loan car

I'd like that, except then I'd want a vrs! Doing the housing churn and burn now, so money is your up in assets and not available for toys

Haha, to be honest, the Ambition Plus has plenty of go for me and the only thing that worries me is the 7 speed dsg since it is the dry clutch version not the wet in the MY15.
For a toy car, I would prefer a Golf R in manual and have the indicator stalk on the right, so that means... will never happen lol

Yeah we love our ambition plus. The 1.4tsi is a bloody awesome engine. The other day in crawling traffic (26kph avg speed) I still averaged ~7.8l/100 in what was a crawl. Amazing considering the torque and performance on offer

I am lucky that I don't really experience traffic jam in my day to day drive, so the little turbo engine always has opportunity stretch its legs and do some overtaking
Having said that, the air-con is typical European and I don't quite like the cruise control is on the indicator stalk, it would be easier if it was on the steering wheel.
