Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link

I had a similar thing on my old Clubsport last year particularly after track days...I didn't beleive the cure,but top specialist told me that i had probably glazed pads / discs.....I rubbed down pads and discs with emery paper and the problem went away.

I had a similar thing on my old Clubsport last year particularly after track days...I didn't beleive the cure,but top specialist told me that i had probably glazed pads / discs.....I rubbed down pads and discs with emery paper and the problem went away. It felt more like a vibration through the steering at very low speeds and never affected the braking performance...Give this a try at least it doesn't cost much...

POST 2Original post

Knocking noises on extreme lock in RSs are normally associated with clunking diffs. Not sure what a noise from the *front* of the car would be from.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has only happened when the car has been out in the rain and goes away shortly after driving it.

POST 4Original post

Its an odd one, my 1st thought was the power steering rack, with the oil getting too hot after frantic track action, but why only in the wet hmmm beats me.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My RS makes a funny noise if it has been left out in the rain. When I turn the steering, especially at low speeds, almost lock to lock I get a knocking or groaning noise coming from the front of the car. Only happened twice when the car has been out overnight (at foreign trackdays) and goes away shortly afterwards. Anyone any ideas ? Jim
