Hi
Ive occasionally noticed a very light tapping noise from I think the driver side front corner on my 2018 Carrera
It is intermittent and only happens at 1 to 2 mph
Anyone any Ideas?
Thanks
Gary
 
If it only happens when at low outside temperatures and you are turning on lock, then it is probably the tyres complaining :p
 
Rattle from brake pads, loose base plate, worn drop link/ ball joint/steering rack/roll bar bush/top mount etc.
The wheel needs to come off to check some of these components.
Regards,

Clive

 
...or even a stone or other foreign body in the tyre / tread / between brake disc and caliper, perhaps.
These are easy to check out [:)]
 
It does seem to be something like that I’ve bounced the car and no sound at all
I’ll take the wheel off and have a look tomorrow
Thanks everyone for your help

Do you think I should see if it gets worse?

If you need an answer to that, you really shouldn’t be driving a car.
Investigate it if you are concerned [8|]
 
Ok
On inspection (wheels off) every thing is solid as you would expect on a 20 000 mile car
Ive cleaned everything and complete unpacked and repacked the kit under the bonnet
It seems to have stopped but it is intermittent
Ill keep you posted
thanks for all your help
