Screeching from front left

[polo_spec_d]

Hello all,

I've got a screeching taking place on my front left wheel when i turn left, I havent been able to pick whether its brake related or another issue. Just abit more info too, it starts as soon as the steering wheel is moved anti clockwise, eg just driving around a long corner or just changing lanes.

Does anyone have any ideas??

Thanks ahead

Is it loud?

Maybe a rock caught inbetween your disk and rear sheild?

[polo_spec_d]

yeah loud enough that i can hear it with the stereo up loud

I doubt its a rock then. Cause you wouldnt drive if there was a rock in there.

[polo_spec_d]

yeah i thought it might be a wheel bearing but the car is not even 1 yr old yet

Take it back to the dealer and demo the noise for them.

Ive had problems with the deal before about the problem, I have driven the car with the noise taking place and they act stupid as if they cant hear it.
(this is with 3 "mechanics" in the car) they say they cant hear or find anything.

But yeah there clearly is, as i have had drivers past me and stop me on the noise and friends can hear it as clear as day when in the car

I suggest you see another dealer for a second opinion, and if you still get no resolution, get in touch with VW Australia.

yeah thats the next road I will be taking.

Could be powersteering pump. It is located in the front left of the vehicle under the battery/headlight.

I am not saying this from experience its just a thought.

or the driveshaft boot?
nah that just squeaking sound.... never mind

[polo_spec_d]

I shall have to have alook at it myself due to the dealers not having a clue at what it may be, you guys have been very helpful alot more then the dealers

thank you

[GTIJNR]

ah... may be when u fit the wheels, accidentally hit or distort the backing plate behind the disc brake, check 4 clearance.

[polo_spec_d]

yeah had a look at that, its all good there, gunna check it all when i put the new coilovers onthis week
