Howz Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Hi Guys, I have now had my 2005 1.9tdi Automatic galaxy with 145,000 miles on it for about 2 months. Over the past few weeks I have noticed a scraping sounding noise that appears to come from the drivers side, It happens under load when accelerating or moving very slowly, to me it sounded like a stone caught between the brake disc, or the metal surround catching, I took the front wheel and caliper off, pushed back the metal surround and checked what I could but the noise is still there, it may happen at higher speeds but I cant hear it then. Any ideas welcome? Quote
sparky Paul Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 What shape are the discs in? Quote
Russats Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 A guy I work with just bought an Alhambra and the previous owner has fitted Galaxy wheels to it which are rubbing on the brake caliper on both front wheels when cornering. Quote
BrianH Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Are they 15" or 16" wheels? and MK1 or MK2? Quote
Howz Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Posted November 23, 2014 Thanks for the replies, the discs are very worn and will need replacing when I get around to it. I originally took the front RHS wheel off to replace the ABS sensor, whilst I did this I cleaned up the caliper, I reckon I just unseated the pads as the noise seems to have reduced. Quote
