Subject:Re: Syncro GL: keep your eye on that wheel!

Never had this happen on a VW, but went through it with a '79 GMC pickup.
Lost the left rear wheel. Everything happened exactly as you described it.
The noise, the inability to find a problem, then being passed by my own
wheel. In my case I replaced the wheel and the lugs. The hub was fine.
