Creaky noise at slow speed...

[Villek]

Hello readers,

have any of you noticed a creaky noise when slowly driving fwd or rev and the front wheels (I have 80x) are turn full stop or almost full stop on either side. Driving straight no similar issues.

Not noticed but I do notice a horrible braking noise when slowly coming to a stand still , maybe it’s similar with manoeuvre braking option on as I have mine off

absolutely normal. don't worry

It's normal it's the suspension and brakes making noise that's normally drowned out by the ICE engine.

If you've ever sat in a car being towed, you realise just how much noise comes from the suspension, brakes, chassis and bodywork of a car when it's moving. You just don't hear it as much with a petrol or diesel engine clattering away.

Has anyone ever had a grinding/rumbling noise and vibration in driver and passenger when turning, for me there is a half turn point on the steering wheel that when I’m entering or exiting a road/junction at around 15-20mh, it’s will make a horrible grinding noise similar to gravel terrain or that little bumps on carriageways to slow you down. New car, test drive a Vrs model of mine which strangely also did the same but slightly quieter than mine. Any help would be appreciated. Skoda have seen it and said they don’t know, then Škoda vrs version did the same so they think it’s a “characteristic” but it is awful and sounds dangerous rather than a cute feature.

I guess this could be a potential issue on Enyaqs with 4WD? Possibly due to the steering not being able to turn as far as on RWD models because of having driveshafts and CV joints at the front.

I suspect the majority of Enyaqs are RWD, hence not many people have experienced it. Might need some of the 80x/85x/vRS people to listen out for it.

Skoda told me my rattling rear shocks were a characteristic too... I put up with them for 40 thousand miles and 2.5 years of driving before coming across a thread mentioning the issue, and deciding to buy a used pair off ebay from a newer car, and the rattling is now gone.

Not suggesting your issue it anything to do with the shocks, just that i'd take what the dealer says with a big ole pinch of salt as its entirely possible they have no clue what they're talking about...

I think in your situation, i would get the wheel alignment checked firstly.

I never heard any noises on the loaner 80x i had for a few months, and i'm quite sensitive to noises. So i wouldnt say its a characteristic. It could possibly be a combination of road surface and the tyres fitted if its only happening in certain places.
