[Vwdiesel] When it rains...

[decker at toledotel.com]

Hi Val;
    If the clutch or tranny has anything to do with it I'm out in left field
but to a Rabbit driver growling that stops when you do is usualy a front
wheel bearing. It will go many thousand miles after I hear it for the first
time untill I think if I don't change it something catastrophic will happen.
