That would be the first thing I checked anyway.NOCK Edited June 5, 2007 by LUPO NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deewhy Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 i have this problem with my arosa, i took it apart and noticed that the aftermarket pads i used were about 1/2mm shorter in the caliper, so when i reversed, they would lock on to the disc and clunk once off the calliper. then the same when i went forward.not sure if this could be what you are experiencing. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallredlupo Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I've got a similar situation with my T reg lupo.There is a clank/click sound coming from the front of the car every time I hit the brake when traveling over 15mph.The sound isn't there when I brake traveling at low speed.I pulled down the window and could hear the sound comes from underneath the car, but couldn't really tell whether it's from the brake discs or something else in the lower engine compartment.But so far, it hasn't affect the braking power...... yet...What could be the cause?lupogirlBasicllay lately every time i brake there is a clank that comes from the front of thecar.Any idea what exactly i should start looking for?CheersMarty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
