Scirocco Central

Hi everyone,

Recently my Roc has developed an issue whereas the front end is squeeking on acceleration, does it at low RPM in most gears but it doesn't continue through the rev range. Browsed everywhere but can't find anything.
Removed my twintake to see if that was causing the rubbing noise and it still makes the noise when removed..

I've pinpointed the noise somewhere around the passenger side front, I'm thinking a pulley or something? Cars done 29,000.

Anyone ever experienced and can advise me on how I could pinpoint / diagnose the issue?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Having the same noise on mine , I'm have the cambelt and water pump done this week to see if it sorts it out . Will let you know , there is a few R's on here who are having the same problem

Nice one mate I'm at the end of my tether trying to fix it! Thought I was the only one with this!
If you can let me know that would be much appreciated It does sound like a water pump now you mention it, possible bearing failure I reckon.. weird thing is mine isn't due to be changed until 08/16... Premature wear I guess.

Yip, my ROC water pump failed at 31000Km. Common problems it seems. There was no noise involved though. Just leaking.

Had it changed and the noise has gone I thought I heard it very quite when I picked it up but I think it was just me! But driving it for a few days now and it's gone, don't know what the problem was but just hoping it don't come back! Will keep you posted

Thanks for letting me know dude it's much appreciated! How much did the work cost you in the end and did you get it done at VW?

I paid about £350 fitted all genuine parts from a local garage that I've used for years, VW have a fixed price for £399 so not to bad. My DSG service is due soon so may go VW for that
