diveandy Member Aug 1, 2017 #1 Hi all, Mrs Y reg TD4 Hippo has started making this horrible noise when moving - doesn't seem to vary much with speed or with braking. Anyone recognise the signature of that banshee wail? My first guesses are VCU bearings or something in the wheel hub....

Nodge68 Well-Known Member Aug 1, 2017 #3 Sounds like front brake squeal to me. You need to check the caliper sliders. If those stick, it'll hold the pads against the discs.
