Go to Auto Zone, NAPA, wherever, and rent a laser thermometer. Go for a drive. At the end of it, check the temperatures at all wheels. If one is significantly hotter than the others, there's a good possibility you have a wheel bearing tanked out.

The year, make and model info would be helpful but it could be rusty or bent backing plates. I doubt it is a bearing. Bearings make a rumble noise when they are going bad. Pull the rear wheels off and inspect the brakes and backing plates.

A RUBBING SOUND COULD BE SEVERAL THINGS. COULD BE WHEEL BEARING , DID YOU JUST REPLACE THE ROTORS.? IF SO DID YOU MAKE CERTAIN THE ROTORS WERE SEATED PROPERLY. SOMETIMES YOU DONT GET THEM TIGHT ENOUGH AND THEY WILL WOBBLE AND MESS UP THE BEARING.

When does the timing belt need changing on 1999 golf gti 125 bhp?

Usually between 60-70k miles. The manufacture has a set milage but this is only a guide and does depend on the driving wether in city or motorway. obviously with city driving the belt have dont more work once the milage has been reached. Safe to get it done, ensure that they change the tensioner(contains bearing) for the timing belt and whole water pump and or its bearing and seals. Hope this helps Stephen
