Noise When Reversing

Recommended Posts

Guest si-gti

When i am reversing in a straight line, there is some sort of knocking or banging noise, sounds like something is getting caught somewhere, it only happens when i'm reversing? Anyone have a clue what it might be?

is it a 1.6 with bendix calipers? if it is, the pads move in the calipers when reversing. its normal so i wouldnt worry about it too much.

You got a 1600?

 

pads have a habit of banging when calipers are worn.

There's no harm in the clunking noise, and as long as the calipers, pads and discs are in good order then don't worry about it.

 

But if you prefer (As I did) then you can stick 1.9 calipers on instead.
