? Intermittent brake noise in reverse ?

Postby aviper4u » Tue Apr 22, 2014 10:04 pm

Hello,

I have an NB8B with 114 kms completely stock apart from coilovers.

Issue occurs intermittently though it's hard to explain i'll give it a crack.......

So say you're in a carpark you find a sweet spot and start to back in and as you're creeping in you just touch the brake pedal and a vibration coupled by a noise occurs (non metallic).

This never happens reversing out of my driveway though :?

Anyone else have this occur?

Cheers
Can you remember your first drive?

I've had a similar sound, in neutral allowing gravity/slope/momentum to roll the car back into a parking spot - loud krrrnnnk noise sounded and felt like I gutter rashed my rims, but didn't.

Doesn't occur if I slip into reverse gear, can be avoided if I slip into reverse.
