Sounds ike a stone in the tyre to me.

 

Got a quote off Wrexham VW a couple of days ago for discs and pads all round. Came to about £550 fitted.

Anyone know if you can change the pads but keep using existing discs please?

Yep, shouldn't be a problem

 

hi mate, you can change the pads without changing the discs, will be alot cheaper aswel.

 

If it's only when cornering and goes when braking it could easily be the CV joint or possibly a wheel bearing

 

No its not a cv joint or bearing. Different noise. Im pretty sure its the brakes but odd for it to sound like that?

 

you checked your tyres to make sure there is not some thing metallic stuck in any of them?

Yep, nothing in them mate. Might run it up to VW and ask them?

Excellent, thanks.

 

it could be a stone in one of the rotors causing the noise but id expect that to continue even when braking. without hearing and looking at it were all just guessing. if VW aint gonna charge you then theres no harm in asking them lol.

you can change pads without discs and discs without pads. the discs are expected to last longer so the pads will normally be changed a few times before the discs need doing (unless the discs warp of course).

 

Ill have a look. My discs seem low (i think) as they sit inside the lips so im guessing they need replacing?

 

Hey I just had this problem with my front left wheel so i took the wheel off, the pad was fine and so i hit it with a hammer a bit and that fixed the problem haha. The pad was grinding on a little bit of the inner ring of the rotor.

 

It seems to have subsided after the drive home and a few bumps lol

With london not having many closed in roads its hard to hear though. Dont think its doing it anyway! Ill jack it up tomorow and check as i finally have a day off!
