    What tyres are you running on you TDi 2.0 177 ??

    JG, I was quite sceptical to be honest, the info I read had them 1 decibel quieter than a conti 3 slightly worse in the Wet but to be fair I'm never gonna push my tyres to the extremes that there rated to, I do find them quiet and grippy, they seem to be wearing well, nice and even, no dramas so...

    Intermittent clutch judder

    If it's only 3 months old I'd take it back and tell them it's not fit for purpose, if you've owned it 3 months but it's a second hand car with warranty then I reckon they'll claim wear n tear n you'll have to agree to pay for the work to be done and then try to claim it back
