Scraping noise from front passenger wheel

[TheMoggy]

Does anyone else have a scraping noise from the front passenger wheel? The noise only appears at slow speeds usually when I am turning the wheel...

...there is a lot of mud on the road near me so I am putting it down to that, but if anyone else on this forum has had similar problems then I might take it into the dealership.

I have noticed this recently, normally i have the radio playing but it was off and heard this same noise from passenger side, did you find out what it was?

[Ginagee]

Yep, I have a bit of a noise when on full lock at very low speed, i.e.: when doing 3 point turns. The noise stops when the car is stationery. It's not a scraping noise as such, but a low friction noise -  it sounds like the tyres are touching the wheel arches whilst in motion, but surely they aren't?

[Aidey]

Yes it does sound like the tyre rubbing the inside arch!

I have this too.

It's coming from the front passenger side wheel area. Only occurs at very low speed whilst manoeuvre or using full lock. Mine is more of a creaking sound which I'm convinced is coming from the suspension strut area.

Don't think it's anything serious but it's a bit odd all the same.

Was going to post about it a few weeks ago but didn't really know how to accurately explain what it sounds like.

I've got the same noise but only really hear it in sport mode (DCC). doesn't really happen in comfort or normal.

Im hearing it in eco mode at the moment , will try other modes tomorrow

[Aidey]

Tested in today in an empty car park, all modes, the noise is there when turning at slow speeds, could some more members check for this?

I've also found mine does the same. But only when it's very wet. I think it is most likely the CV boot rubbers rubbing against one another.

Mine groans a bit when maneuvering in carparks too, but also only when it's very wet. My MK6 did the same thing and my dealer told me it was normal! He even showed me a VW report stating that it was normal. After a while (maybe after a year of ownership), I realised I hadn't heard the noise in a while. It seemed to go away itself.
