UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Aye it solved it for me man thankfully! I put it into Volkswagen and got it done but my girlfriend works for them so got it at staff price and trade price parts and it still was £148

Would of done it myself but its about one of the only things i cant do as i dont have a press to press the bearing ...

Finally found out what the noise was. 3 Mechanics and an MOT later found out the wheel bearing was damaging the Hub flange and causing the grinding noise. New wheel bearing and flange and noise is away thankfully!

Was strange though as was no play in the wheel bearing. Was only when it was all ...

Never got a chance to get the wheels off today to check but will defo be doing so tomorrow to see if can see anything in scoring the disc.

Glad you found out what was making your noise though

Going to have a look at it again today and see if can find anything again! Will try get a recording but might just get wind noise.

My cars doing the exact same thing. Front left wheel
Sound a bit like the noise a slinky makes when u move it hand to hand.

...which I guess equals 4 of us with GTIs with the same problem.
Im praying it's something simple. Weather related maybe as it's all happened at the same time. Some road ...

Will keep you posted if i find anything aswell man. Physically cant see anything it can be so its annoying. Going to have another good look about it tomorrow though. It seems its only when the weight of the car is down on it that it makes the noise as i even tried having the car on stands and ...

Mine is doing the same.

I'm thinking my wheel bearings. Have you checked them? My noise is on my passenger wheel.

Gave the wheels a shake about when it was jacked up to see if any play but couldnt feel anything major. More and more i think it could be though as there litterally is nothing else i ...

When driving along there is a grinding noise coming what seems on every revolution of the wheels at the front.

Firstly i though the wheel may be touching the coilover and rubbing however theres plenty of space so not that.

Also checked that track rod arms are not touching anything,nowhere near ...
