Herself has heard a noise

[waynedear]

Jules came in Wednesday and said her car is 'squeaking', upon questioning it is going over speedbumps.
I took the car out and did left wheels over then right then both... Nothing at all squeaked.
I did notice a very noticeable screech going round left handers... Got the car home, n/s front wheel off, moved backing plate away from the disc, tried a left turn, no noise.
Just asked her now if the car sounds better, apparently it is still squeaking over speed bumps.
But it bloody well isn't.
I asked her if she had noticed the loud screech going round left hand corners... No.
I give up. 😁

Hi, Is this any help?



On a more serious note, check if there are any stones caught between the caliper and disc, that can make a screeching noise.

Get her to take you out in the car and repeat the squeak 😉

I know the stone noise well, making very good time down the Black Mountains in my 146ti, the noise started, and what a noise, sounded terminal, nursed it down and found a car park, 10 minutes later I was laughing.

Hi, Same here, heard it before. One afternoon I went round my mates w'shop for a social visit and he was just leaving, so we were standing in the yard chatting. Next thing screeching noise came in off the road and stopped and the young lady driving asked if there was a mechanic here. I looked at my mate to see whether he was going to volunteer but I could see he was reluctant because he wanted to go home. So I just said back it up a couple of feet and then come forward again, silence! There you go. She was aghast, her face was a picture.
