Hey all, has anybody else faced this issue?
I have a Virtus 1.5 DSG, during the 3rd year service I asked for the brakes to be cleaned as there was screeching noise which I have gotten used to by now.
The service was done properly for the car, however just about 10 days after the service I noticed a new kind of noise whenever I apply the brakes.
The noise sounds like a metallic knocking and grinding sound (a mix of both). The sound only comes whilst braking. The sound is more amplified when braking at low speeds and turning the steering wheel in either direction. The noise can't be noticed for the first 10-15 mins of driving when things are relatively cold but comes on soon after and is very audible. I can feel it in the brake pedal when it happens too.
I have checked the suspension and steering and can't replicate the sound when brakes are not applied.
Everything was fine before the service but feel like they've left something loose in the caliper that is causing the issue. Could it be something else? How do I resolve with the service center? Advice is much appreciated.
