tyres rubbing on inner arches! thats whats normally rubs

 

[blackcupra180]

take ur wheels off and u will probably see clean plastic where its been rubbing if your cars not lowered the inner arch may have come loose

Ty guys

there is very little clearance between tyres and wheel arches... in fact the LCR has a shorter steering rack..

so if you are running wider than stock you can easily get tyre rub.
or as above the arch lining has come a bit loose.

Is it already lowered? could be ARB hitting the DS

Won't do this if its standard ride height tho.

Yes it's still standard height I have the original wheels on at the mo and it still does it, will take a look when I jack it up to put my alloys back on. It's a wierd sound but hope it is just the arch as fed up of spending money on general upkeep. I was always under the impression that vag cars were of good build quality but this is defo not the case. Water leak in car again ggggrrrrr have saved the link for the proper door seal part number so need to buy that aswell
