GT TSI Shudders at speed

[dionysiac]

Hi people
Took delivery of a BG GT TSI this week.
So far have loved the experience with the exception of the following:
On a number of occasions when reaching around the 110 mark there is quite noticeable shuddering / vibrations.
Feels like the wheels are unbalanced or something.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Or if anyone has any thoughts as to what i should check.

yep my gt was shuddering at around 130+ when i first got it, needed wheel alignment, 50g on one of the wheels! its a big pain in the ass you'll end up wasting an hour at the dealership unfortunately.

^ I agree - that's what it sounds like. Maybe it threw a weight?

BTW, Big Welcome. Specs and pics, please.
