Wilks Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Whenever im going along there is a squeak coming from either the front or rear drivers side wheels. It did it with my old wheels and continued onto my new ones. Thought it was a stone in the brake pads but i have put the car through some hard breaking but it carries on. It stops when i break though!Anyone know what this could be?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it goes as you slow with the breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mates mk3 always does this for some reason, im beginning to think sticking slider bolts could be to blame so may be worth giving them a little lub while its apart.
