driving back from work today, just about reached my drive and there was the most horrific metallic grinding noise from somewhere under the car =8-(
ended up getting the Audi/RAC recovery guy out cos i didn't want to drive her to the Silverlink, fortunately it turned out to be nowt more than a little stone stuck between the brake plate and caliper or something. thought the goddamn exhaust or the quattro had fallen off from the noise it ws making! :-D

Hi Wolfie138.
Got the exact same noise myself at mo,sounds like a cats being dragged under my car, im hoping it will dislodge itself eventaully how have you cured yours mate ?

 

[Zafi]

If you reverse and dab the brakes a few times while reversing it usually frees the stone.

 

[wolfie138]

the guy said the plate (or whatever!) has grooves in and the stone should've dislodged itself in due course, but he just gave it a poke w/ a screwdriver or something and knocked it out.

Same thing happened to my wife in her A5 Cabriolet, a Small Stone stuck in-between the wheel and the Tyre and made a Horrendous noise !

Let me know what area you're in and I'll pass it on ! !
Always good to get some positive feedback for the guys in Silver. ;-)

deja vu. got another grind noise from the back, got the RAC guy on the way. hopefully just another bit of grit/salt in the wheels.
don't get me started on the state of the roads....

tell you what though, i love those wheels on the Dynamik but if they're gonna cause me this much bother i'm gonna think hard about trading them in.


EDIT : aye, *** gravel again.
