At lows speeds like walking pace I get a grinding/ rumbling noise comeing from front of my car almost sounds and feels like rusty discs but soon as I hit over walking pace it's back to normal no noise what so ever
-
Something stuck? Sounds like mine did (thread on here about caliper). Could be small so only here when car moving slowly?

Yeah thats sounds about right actually. Never thought of caliper i will have to investigate that
-
May sound daft but does this happen at around 1800 revs or so..? Even if stood still? My 1.6 fsi has a noise that sounds similar to yours and it is my air intake that vibrates but when someone else presses the throttle and I put a bit of pressure on the top of it with my hand or something the noise stops.. Could be the same thing so give that a try and have a look at that..

Nah its only when moving slowly i tried the brakes but its not that it almost sounds like driveshafts rubbing on something like a dry bearing noise if that makes sense
-
Manual or auto?
If manual not uncommon for clutch rattle noise at tick over !
-
Manual. It's not clutch it's when the car is moving even out of gear at very low speeds
-
Try driving at the same slow speed going full lock to lock (in large open space) to see if the noise stops in either direction.
-
Tried the steering and its not that
-
Double check the rear brakes cause it sounds more like a lazy handbrake cable!
-
It's from the front end sound like its down by the driveshafts/ gearbox in the center
-
Cv joints normal just click under full lock when failing.
Wheel bearing - check for play but normal signs are at speed and when not at speed they tend to be well worn so have plenty free play!
-
At speed no noise whatsoever only literally walking pace it's hard to explain the noise
-
Listening abit more today its sounds like drive shafts grinding anyone had similar
-
What tyres do you have on the front?
-
What tyres do you have on the front?
Rubber ones lol. Only cheapie s at the moment but are really soft compound but its not tyres as I swapped them over to my old wheels which had continentals on and still same problem. It sounds centre of the footwells
-
Gearbox driveshaft area?? :scared:
-
If your engine is idling and the clutch is out you will get a bit more noise from the drivetrain. Sounds like nothing to worry about if it goes away if you go a bit faster

@northracing
Has your injector sorted your poor idling?
-
It just sounds strange only at low speed only but can't feel anything through steering brakes nothing like that just sounds like dry bearing sound but like I say once driving at normal speeds quiet like it should be only does it again if I stop and leave the car for a while

Not had it done yet waiting for a slot for it to be fitted they told me hopefully next week so fingers crossed it will be all sorted this time next week
