Hi All,I have an odd vibration problem with my A3 2.0T 8P 2005 S-Line. It is very hard to describe but I would say it's worse at around 50-70mph and other than these speeds, very little vibration. The vibrations are felt throughout the car and the steering wheel.I've tried having all wheels aligned and calibrated to no avail.Getting very frustrated and any ideas or input is much appreciated.ThanksScott

I recently had this problem, at first with a bulge in a tyre, and then with missing ballancing weights on one side of the wheel.

Take your care to a garage, Checking a wheel for ballancing is usually free of charge, if its not ballancing it wont cost you money, if it does need ballancing then itll only be a few quid
Hope that helps bro

Went to the local tyre shop today and they had a look. Turns out my rear N/S wheel is damaged and was therefore producing vibration through the car. They've temporarily swapped it out for an old used (working) one and voila, vibration is gone! They will make the repair of the wheel in the next couple of days and all should be well. Thanks everybody for your input!

I have just suffered 2 buckled wheels. Felt like a pneumatic drill was in the car with me. Doesn't take much to spoil the ride.
