You would think it would be the same issue just a different direction. Mine is only reverse at the moment (but could be wrong) I'll pay more attention

Well I'm only on L's so can't really drive alone, especially since both parents are gone, but I took it around the block and it does it in reverse, and even (as much as I hated doing that) while standing still.

Hi,
Since I got my Polo 6R GTI from new there was a knock noise when I braked while reversing. I replaced the front brake discs and the knock noise was gone, but after 1000km it returned even worse. The knock noise is now audible without braking while reversing. I spoke to the VW workshop manager and he said it is a common problem with the Polo's. The wheel bearing has got some play within the wheel bearing housing which is causing the knock/clunk noise. Unfortunately when they remove the wheel bearing it is damaged and requires a new wheel bearing. He also said they use Locktite when pressing in the new wheel bearing.
I still need to book my Polo to have the wheel bearing replaced.

I had both my front ones replaced for the same reason.. Mine was when you would go up driveways and what not with some lock on.. Berwick vw workshop foreman said bearings were a possibility and replaced them and that noise went way...

Hey all, hoping for some advice. Wondering if there has been a definitive answer for this knocking issues from the brakes moving in calipers. VW had my GTI for a total of 10 weeks to tell me it is completely normal, especially for sporty cars. Is brake pads moving in the calipers actually normal, occurring every time you drive or is this a palm off? Apologies if this is a noob question, just really hoping for some final clarification!

I'd really love to know this also as I have a Mk5 Golf and the clunk noise from the brakes is loud! :/ I too was told by my mechanic that it was normal... but I don't feel reassured at all.

Anyone got any closer to an answer for this one?
