Why is it only making this noise when accelerating with lock on either right or left if you come off the accelerator theft noise stops its driving me mad :(

Thanks mate your a star

Thanks pal what am I looking for as in wear wise

Right the rattle was the cat heat shield and the hissing is the brake servo but still stuck on the noise from the back wheels mainly on full lock more so on right but a little now on left like a rubbing grinding noise slow speed accelerating could this be the 4x4 system ??

Well going to pop it up to vw rescue later to day and see what they think and how much its going to cost not looking forward to that part :(

could this hissing sound be the brake booster ?? if so is it a hard job to do ??

Cool thanks for the help ill take it down my local garage and get him to listen and sort it , also just to add to the mix I can now hear a hissing noise under my steering wheel but it stops when I press the brake pedal ????

Ok little update the rattle is indeed the cat heat guard looks as if a bolt is missing on the right had side at the back part as you can see where one used to be how ever the loud noise when turning right is now confusing me as I've jacked up all corners of the car wobbled each wheel and no noises

Thanks pal all ideas are great so I can have a look thanks again

Hey all I've seem to of acquired a couple of noises on my 4x4 the first is a metallic rattle when the rpm is a 2000/2100, it does it on the move and when not moving, sound like its coming from under the car middle to front area bit hard to tell though, if anyone could point me in directions to start look that would be great Second one is when steering the car hard right, only heard it at slow speed so far, I get a rubbing grinding noise, it does not do it when turning left. I have checked the cv and all seem to be ok with no leaks any help would be much appreciated

Well after a long hard think between the vrs and 4x4 I went and brought my self a lovely 4x4 in black and very happy with it

Excited just got my self a 4x4 octavia 60000 miles on the clock in black pick it up Wednesday can't wait to get it gonna get a cambelt and water pump done then have it remaped + more

Looking to get cambelt + water pump done when I pick up my car just for peace of mind I'm based by stourbridge in west midlands can any one recommend me a good place to get it done thanks

Well all.sounding good to me and as ill be using to go up to the lakes and Scotland in in the winter snowboarding this car seem just what I'm after and I'm not over fused about hammering it in to corners just want something that got a bit of power to use and be able to cope well in snow if its anywhere close after a remap to the impreza I had which was standard apart from a exhaust ill be more than happy

But wouldn't the 4x4 be the same power and speed as a vrs as they map to the same
