Scraping noise from front passenger wheel

[Aidey]

thanks guys, gives me a bit of peace of mind, and it certainly is wet at the moment!!

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.

That does sound rather like one of symptoms I had before having the strut top mounts and bearings replaced - particularly the craeaking which was also audible during other slow speed manouvers, speed bumps etc.

I'm taking it to the VW garage on Monday...I will post on here what I find

Ok I noticed this in a Carpark in sport mode, I'll try other modes today see if it makes a difference

Hi. Mine does this as well, only on full lock. I have put it down to something like the differential. I have had other cars make the same noise in the past.

Ok I think there are two noises here, ones on full Lock which in my mind is normal and the other I have is at all speeds but only heard at low speeds due to other noises, it sounds like a squeaking or squirrelling/hamster noise coming only from the front right. It's not very noticeable now but if it gets worse I'll be taking her in, is anyone else similar or are we all scraping noises on the passenger side?

I have exactly the same as you Graham. I've been in to the dealers umpteen times to be told "everything is fine". I've given up trying to fix it now to be honest, the replacement is here in a couple of weeks so i'm just hoping the next on will be better.

Is yours getting worse at all? I cant work out if its just started or if its always been there. I have just changed the springs but I doubt they will have caused the issues as I trust Shark to put them in right.

I come from a Leon so i can live with slight noises, and the bcs helps me ignore them even more but i dont like things that get progressively worse as then I cant convince myself its normal and it gets to me!

It started around 2000 miles at a guess. I've now covered almost 7000 miles and its still exactly the same!

Exactly the same I can live with, if it gets worse I will probably have a breakdown lol
