Clunky noise under breaking

Featured Replies

When breaking getting a metallic clunking noise but only after accelerating then coming on to the breaks all rubbers seem to be fine anyone got any ideas

Make a Forum search under "brakes" (not breaks). The Teves calipers in the Mk 1 Superb have a design fault which I have identified - the outer pad is not secure in the caliper body and is pulled back by the wear lip on the disk.

 

The inner pads are handed and will make noises if fitted incorrectly. There is a rotational arrow mark on the pad spring to aid correct fitting.

Agreed,

 

Pads can be fitted the wrong way round that will give a clunk under the circumstances described
