Re: Weird metallic noise

Ok cheers guys. I think it could be the pads actually, the drivers side pad looks like its almost touching the disc. I will have a play around during the week and see if I can sort it out. Is filing the edge of the pad down a bit perfectly fine and safe?

Weird metallic noise

I dont use my car that often but have noticed a weird metal grinding/skimming (quite soft not a harsh noise) noise at low speeds. I thought it was coming from the brakes but the pads and discs (although a little rusty) look okay. Could it be something to do with the wheels?

Cheers,

Re: Can you still buy a Polo GTI from new?

Wonder how many were produced for the UK. Lupo GTI's had around 1000 shipped to the UK and they are rare as rocking horse poo. I see less 9n3 Polo GTI's . Makes me want to keep mine now!

Re: opinions - maybe more new wheels

Maybe get a lightweight set of 16's when you feel like having a raz around. Compomotive MO's or something.

I used some warm water with some car washing stuff in it and just agitated surfaces with a brush. I then applied s...

Re: a couple of new pics of mine

I meant that I would get rid of the tinted plate because it looks rubbish imo, nothing to do with its legality!
