juddering noise on reversing

Post by grazuncle2 »

on only three occasions since having this Polo (5 months) and always just before reversing into my garage.. I just an awful judder/grind noise.

Only first occasion after driving home from picking it up i really though i had mis-judged the width of the car gouged the bodywork.. I stopped immediately and ran to the rear of the car only to find I'm still a foot from the garage opening! It has happened two more times since..

on reflecting on it I realised that it only happens after releasing the handbrake and reversing straight away afterwards. My drive is on a slight incline down so am reversing slightly uphill)

Anyone else had this awful noise? Brake shoes catching or not releasing occasionally?

It hasn't happened every time I put the car away but when it does I think i have scraped the bodywork... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

It's probably the automatic braking system, it can be a bit scary if you're not sure what it is.
