Hi Folks
Newbie here but been reading the forums since getting my 56 plate GTI in October last year which I must say has been phenomenal up to now!
I drove to work as normal this morning and all was fine, as I was pulling away from work this evening I heard the most evil sound which appeared to be coming from the offside rear. I have noticed that if the car has been sat for a day I sometimes hear a clunk as I take the handbrake off and pull away so possibility related. The thing is the noise happens constantly, the breaks work fine and the noise doesn't change when applying them. I decided to turn back and leave the car at work and as I drove back the noise got worse.
I'm wondering if the pads have gone and are welded to the discs? I did check for any score marks on the back disk but nothing was visible and if I remember rightly the car will let me know once the pads need replacing anyway. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
Thanks in advance
Brin
