knock noise when releasing brake peddle

[gstevens26]

Hi I'm new to the forum after recently buying a 2004 mk4 golf tdi estate (1.9 pd engine). I have noticed a weird issue with the brakes.. when I bought the car there was a knocking coming from the passenger side front wheel which was fixed by the garage before I took it. I've recently noticed that there is still a knocking noise coming from that area which is related to braking. the brakes are fine and work perfectly but when stopping, if I release the brake peddle slightly before coming to a complete stop so as not to get the jerk you get if keep it on till fully stopping with the peddle down I get a knocking noise.. if I keep the peddle depressed until the car fully stops there is no knock and nothing when I release the peddle either.. it's weird, never experienced it before.. There's no knocking at all from the area of the car whilst driving, can hit a big hole in the road and nothing, all solid. Does anyone have any ideas what this might be???

Thanks

Is there maybe someone trying to get out of your boot?

Is that a knock knock joke.

I recently asked a similar question on a Polo forum. Turns out it was a forum for the little white sweets.

If this is serious post, check your wheel nuts are not loose. Also check the brake caliper is not loose.

Was a serious post but forum is clearly full of knobs that would rather rip the piss than actually offer a solution.. peddle was an auto correct on my phone by the way! Thanks for nothing bell ends!!

I was giving advice you Muppet. Should you really be driving a car if you think that this is a forum for clapped out German cars?

Do you play any golf? You might as well join in now that you are here.

Hahaha. just realised.. what a dick I feel now.. was using the mobile site so wasn't clear that it was actually a golf forum and not a vw golf forum.. sorry people and yes I do play, love a knock

i suggest setting fire to it, then pushing it into a quarry.

i'm pretty sure the will stop the noise
