Have you checked your rear spoiler is popping up by the way.
Leading evidence: 'Check rear spoiler is popping up by the way' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'revenge of the golf' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check bolts' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Thanks speedd, but i always use a torque wrench when i change my summer/winter wheels over - i do it myself so i know they are not tightened up too much/ too little.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi guys, i just took my car out for a lunch time run and whilst on the m-way i began to notice that it didnt feel too stable. the best way to describe it is to say it felt like it was rocking corner to corner and side to side - very curious and in the end i slowed down. i was travelling at approx 95 - 100 when i noticed the problem.
tyre pressures were ok and i could see nothing amiss underneath.
any ideas, anyone?

Has it been stood for 2 weeks solid with no movement? There could be flat spots on your tyres which are made worse by cold weather when the tyres are not getting their usual workout, your golf is! (maybe its a jealousy thing, having to play second fiddle to the golf for winter) That will teach you Warren! your porker is biting back!!....... When I used to lay up my old car in winter, I used to take it out and drive up and down the driveway to stop this happening, probably once a week. What tyres have you got on the car out of interest???

How many miles have you done and have your dampers and springs been changed.
It is amazing what you pick up on when you have not driven the car for a while and have previously taken as normal. It does sound as if your suspension needs sorted.
Flat spotting would not cause what you describe and a car would not flat spot in such a short space of time.

thinking back, i dont really remeber noticing if the spoiler popped up - i had a passenger who was chatting too much!!!
I could be because of the passenger that the car felt different, i suppose, i hardly ever have pax, so maybe the weight diff made the car act diff?
Im runing on winter tyres and the rears are J-u-s-t legal, so maybe that has something to do with it - BTW they are due to be replaced in the New Year and im going to get Ruf to do a full suspension check at the same time
Failing all the above, its probably a the revenge of the golf.

This happened to me on my MINI and ended being the change over form track tyres, my friend who helped change them had not used the correct tool to tighten :?

Thanks speedd, but i always use a torque wrench when i change my summer/winter wheels over - i do it myself so i know they are not tightened up too much/ too little. i then recheck after about 50 miles.

Just a thought but could have been tyre ruts from lorries in the road or even side winds? Porsches (911's) seem to be very sensitive to both of these. Even so worn rear tyres won't help the situation.

I'm with Bruce here Warren, when driving on roads that take heavy traffic and have not recently been tarred, the fat tyres tend to hunt from side to side as they try to follow the lorries 'tracks'.
Having said that, new/better shocks will make almost any car feel hugely improved -
