Today coming home i heard a loud bang from the back of the car then a rubbing noise metal on metal turns out that the guard has completely came loose and started rubbing on the disc! has anyone seen this before?? seems a bit strange! now iam goin to have to lift the caliper assembly off and the disc and most likely replace it . :fighting:

Tfsi_Mike:

Its a hourendous noise isnt it.

I sometimes get stones between the disc and guard and it makes the same noise

wallybanger:
Your not jokin !  :signLOL: Its just hanging in behind the disc nothing seems to be holding and i cant be bothered fixing it tonite ! may just turn the radio up  :drinking:

RedRobin:
^
Don't let the stone score your disc though!

I seriously wonder if it's worth having these guards at all. I have them on the front but not on the rear brakes.

wallybanger:
There def isnt a stone there! its the guard that is touchin the disc just ever so slightly ! the joys........ hahaha
