Hi everyone

 

I’ve just noticed that my 2017 facelift Octavia VRS is making a squeaking sound at various times and low very low speeds. 

 

I was was horrified thinking it was another car making the noise only to discover it was my car!

 

I cant tell if it’s coming from the front or rear, normally if I’m coming out of my driveway or pulling out of a parking spot. 

 

To describe the sound, it’s like you can hear the wheels are turning and rotating. 

 

The squeak eventually goes away but it now has me concerned as it’s happening more often. 

 

Would anyone be able to tell me where this annoying squeak could be coming from and how I can fix it?

 

 

 

Have a look at my post in this thread. On a service at a dealer they dealt with a creaking noise that I complained about and stated it was a recall for suspension bushes.

check the clearance between the brake disks splash plates and the disks, look for any small stones trapped between the two.

Thanks MoggyTech. Didn’t think of this, would you know where these stones might hiding?

 

I can’t seem to locate the area where they might be causing the squeak.

They can get trapped between the disk splash plate and the rear of the actual brake disk. Another cause of the noise can be the disk splash plate rubbing on the brake disk, especially when cornering.

Pushing the splash plate away from the disk usually causes any stones to drop out.

Did you resolve this? I’m having a similar problem
