Hi all,
I though I had better start a new thread for this one and wanted to test your knowledge as there is some crazy knowledge floating about on these forums!
Have got the usual minor S3
problems drivers window not going up properly, rear washer pipe leaking in boot etc but even though my car has just passed it MOT (unfortunately failing on a side light and a snapped front spring with 1/2inch missing off the end!) the car now has problems that are more a major concern but NOT an MOT failure.
1) After 30 seconds of starting the car from cold say in the morning it makes a screeching noise for about 2 seconds my thought are that it may be somethin adjusting as it warms up or a belt starting up?
2) Pretty much since I bought the car back in April when you get to a speed of about 50mph and cruise steady it starts to make a faint rumbling noise, my first though was bearings but maybe tyre rumble??
3) BRAKE PROBLEM - Once I get to motorway speed of 60+mph and I need to brake I really dont want to press the pedal as it judders and braking does not feel confident at all
. I think this has got worse since owning the car but I do not push the car hardly ever and am always gentle on brakes. I was told by two garages (Audi and specialist) that my brake discs are corroded pretty bad but they passed MOT. I realise that the test on MOT is to get to like 30mph and brake and this is easily passable in a S3 with even shocking brakes. I know that I may have answered this already but I thought it may be a bearing/hub problem? Hmm.
Your thoughts on these matters would be much appreciated, sorry for the insanely long post. I clumped these points together as I thought numbers 2 and 3 may be related.
Cheers
