OOPS13

Cheers mate, finally came in from sea and got under the car, it was the ring on the prop coupling, I can't believe it makes that much noise on that tiny bit of tin. Anyway, bit of epoxy and it's glued back in place, should hold it until I get a new one. Just wanna say cheers for the help, might have been a while before I discovered that.

Anddenton.... You know I did think at one point it was a more centralised noise but convinced myself otherwise due to the sound it makes, I would have expected a more clunky hard sound from diffs and mechanical parts. Hopefully you've nailed it there. And thanks to everyone in this thread again, I've learnt a lot about my new car, I've really started to like it until this happened,

Vcds? Is that a diagnostic machine? I bought a really good one just am in Scotland at the minute, need to get back home to lancs first, driving on motorway seems to clear it after a few minutes it goes away, until I stop or slow right down and then it comes back again. Could it be dropped out on a drive way with ramps? As that's my garage at the minute. Haldex seem to be quite pricey, hope it's not that. It's hard as I only have landrover defenders to go off (this car replaced my stolen one) and they're bomb proof, I've had to get small little tools out to look at this and everything has a computer attached to it, it's a bit daunting. I'll have a go at getting the diff drained and maybe out, when I'm next back home, and let you know how I got on. Cheers for the help guys, much appreciated, One last thing, does everybody else struggle to get at the caliper frame or is it just me hunched under a wheel arch swearing at it 😂

I tried moving the wheels but only one at a time whilst checking bearings and changing discs and pads (how awkward are they by the way, and had to invest in new spline set To do it) only the usual slight noise from pads no horrid grinding crunch sounds, and they have usual amount of resistance when turning. In reply to roottoot' It supposedly belonged to a Dr before me, and had seven years proper Skoda garage service and repairs (cam and water pump) surely the haldex (of which now I've googled) would be done with that?

According to the book, it was serviced by Skoda right up until I bought it.

It's done about 150k Haldex? A rear diff shouldn't sound like that??? Surely?

Hi all, I'm new here and have only owned my Octavia scout for about 18 months, all was fine the first year, past mot no advisories however, whilst driving over a moorland pass I had to brake really hard and after that a horrible grinding / scraping noise has happened from the rear of the car, I first thought it could be a stone between the disc and plate but it's not that as I've stripped them down, and replaced as I was there the discs and pads and have also changed driver side bearing as doing this revealed it was knackered, but the noise is still there, sounds like car is filling something to pieces when I set off and goes into a rythmic scraping noise when moving, but it is bloody loud. Has anybody had this experience with their Octavia scout or know what the problem might be, and or maybe a guide to cost, any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
