Bearing-like noise

[jptoro]

Guys.

My 6th gen started to develop a bearing like noise on the passenger side. When the car is moving the noise starts. When the car is not moving with the engine running it does not sound.

i am trying to figure out the issue. Could it be a bad bearing or could it be a suspension noise?

any thoughts?

thx

It would be worth checking to see if a rock is stuck behind your brake shield.

Otherwise a video would help a lot.

Unfortunately the noise is so acute that ia is hard to record. I will give it a good wash underneath and see if it goes away.
I agree with your assessment. I will keep you posted. Thx

Well….the noise is gone. I think you are correct. It was a rock/ pebble stuck behind the brake shield.

Thank you

Stoked it was an easy fix.

It happened once on my MKV GTI and it sounded like something was very very wrong.

Guys. Ina afraid the noise is back. This time is a little more pronounced. I am taking it to the dealer but if you guus have any ideas ….they are welcome.

the noise is constant. It looks line metal rubbing against metal. Like a bearing without grease. By the passenger side. It is not the engine. As I rev the engine in neutral there is no sound. As the car accelerates the noise starts and stay constant.
It is a mistery to me. The dealer heard it before so that is a relief.
