Metal grinding sound?

[CraigLovelock]

Hi.

Just gave my new vts a quick drive down the road and noticed i can hear like a sort of metal grinding sound like the breaks or something idk.

Maybe its where it hasnt been drove for a few weeks idk.

Also, it sounds a lot beefier than my old furio. My vts has no exhuast etc so is standard but it even sounds pretty sweet.

Means its running alright? Might just be the dif between 1.4 and 1.6 16v idk :/

Probably just rust on the discs if hasnt been used, will probably just rub off then be ok.

look through the wheels at the pads, make sure there is actually pads on it and not down to the metal, if so you will need new pads and most probably discs as the bare metal will have fcucked your discs up.

if you've got vtr wheels on you probably wont be able to see your pads. so just pop the wheels off and have a look mate. dont keep driving it like that, you mite get away with just a set of pads if the disks are'nt scored :y:
