Hi Guys, I’m new here and bought my first vw ever.
I have gt 2.0tsi 24k miles on the clock and realised yesterday that have proper vibration on steering wheel when accelerating or driving just over 50mph .First thought was week balance and I done it in garage but problem is still there.Any ideas?thanks

Possibly a wheel bearing on its way out

Although the balancing of the wheel is fine it could be one of tyres. Check for abnormal wear and bulges, especially if you rotate your tyres from the rear to the front as VAG cars are notorious for abnormal wear on the rear tyres.
First thing I would do is swap wheels front to rear to see if the problem remains and take it from there.

Just check the back alloys and one it’s proper buckled and guy from tyres shop said this is the reason...so not sure if he is right and really rear buckled wheel would do transfer vibration on steering wheel .they done balancing but again same so just gonna buy new alloy and hope that’s was the reason.
