Uh... what does age have to do with anything here?

I know that it happens. And I still believe it's a stupid reason for abandoning a car.

I'm sorry, but I'd enjoy my car just the same if I didn't know anyone else who owned the same make/model.

 

walking through the terminals of the airport with no one in here is an erie feeling...

 

what airport?



And after my car is paid off Im keeping it. Forever. Then Ill get a new car and keep the xA for just whatever.

 

Jim- i hear ya but i doubt anyone is gonna even attempt to mess wit you lol

going golfin tomorrow as long as the weather hold out! Cant wait!

 

im at 20k now! haha ill prolly keep it for another year then get the second gen

 

so you guys know how awhile back i was saying how my car made a "slapping" noise when i hit the brakes and Milham told me i needed new ones and when they are worn you hear it louder and the tech took me back and showed me. Well I put brand new brakes on and still the same thing is happening again ugh they better figure this out this time.

 

PHL

 

You should learn to diagnose your own car stuff dude... you shouldn't believe everything a tech says.

Can you tell which side/end of the car the noise is coming from?

 

well i know for a fact i needed brakes when i took it in to have them look at it i only had 4 32nds left and i waited a month before i put em on.

The noise is def from the front

 

No loose hoses, pipes, wires, etc?

 

nope

it sounds just like banging metal on metal when i hit the brakes.

but it only happens at slow speed like 2mph

 

warped rotor? seized caliper?


brb, going to try n find food in this desolate airport.

 

...caliper bolts? did you check them and make sure they're not cross threaded, or messed up at all?

 

they said the rotors were fine and not warped....

as far as caliper bolts...not sure I never touched them

 

how low are you? axel could be smacking onto sopmthing

 

hmm

as far as how low i am, my foot barley fits under the front bumper

 

if that were the case though i should hear the same noise when hitting bumps no?

 

remove the fender liner. maybe something has fallen behind it. i found a screw driver in the rain tray 3 weeks after having worked on the car haha.

 

you would have ahd to if you did the brakes.......

you sure about that? i'm slammed on coilovers and i have the kenstyle lip kit, and my foot fits under the bumper.

 

doubt thats it i never dropped anything down there and it wouldnt only happen when hitting the brakes at a slow speed ya know
