Knocking / scraping noise onmy 82 mk 1 gti please help

Does any one have any idea? Im unsure to what the problem is?   Thanks in advance

where's the noise coming from??? bottom end's pretty common or so ive been told?

o/s front wheel ish, it makes noise only when turning??

SOUNDS LIKE WHEEL BEARING OR PADS DOWN TO BARE METAL MATEY, GET IT CHECKED ASAP

thanks

I reckon CV joint. My cabby made same sort of noises. Like you say...more apparent when turning.

I reckon cv joint too...

i had very similar sounds, and thought it was cv so was waitin till it got worse, ended up bein w/bearing and an mot fail!!

easy to chk, just wiggle the wheel, there will be play if its a bearing

I think a wheel bearing would be a rumble rather than a scraping

sound like play in the wheel bearing and when you turn the disk is touching bare metal pads!!! get it checked quick!!!!

but it wasnt cos the w/bearin was rubbin on the hub, outer race had locked.
had rumbles b4, this had me and a few others convinced it was cv.
i wouldnt have put it in for an mot wi a dodgy bearing!!!
