click when I brake and noisy tickover

[Megy_ED30]

Hi Guys and Gals,

Its now 3 weeks since I got my Edition 30 and generally I am more than happy with the car.  I have however noticed that when I apply the brakes whilst in motion there is a single click from the back somewhere, it happens each time I brake and I cant think of anything that should cause the click.  It doesnt make the clicking sound when the car is stationary and the brakes are applied.  Its not overly loud or annoying but I have never had a car that does anything similar, so I am asking the knowledge of the forum.

The car is also slightly noisier on tickover than I would have thought, its hard to describe the noise but its almost like a pump chugging away.  It is slightly less noisy when the car is in neutral, as appose to drive (DSG box) although there is still a lesser noise (the same but slightly less) when in neutral.

If anyone is able to help with either of these annoyances then I would be thankful.

Cheers all

Ian

does the sound come from the boot area? If so it could be those stupid plastic balls attached to the end of the parcel shelf cord. They always knock when braking or going over speed bumps etc

It is from the back area, but dont think it will be them as there doesnt have to be any retardation for the noise to be there, will have a look at the shelf cord though.
