Clio 1.4 S

[jeffmiller45]

Ok, i've purchased a clio s, 2000 about a week ago. Just had it serviced and the cambelt changed.... But i've just noticed a vibrating sound when slowing down (around 15mph or less)

I've been told this is the brake pads (wearing low) but i dont know. Is it the brake pads, or another problem.

Also, get some vibrations when starting to reverse, but not pulling off.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Could be a wheel bearing ?

but wouldnt i get a constant vibration from that? i mean, car drives fine until i come to a set of traffic lights and have to come to a complete stop, then it feels like something from the front of the car vibrates, quite heavily too...

if it is a wheel bearing, how much am i looking at for a repair? and is it essential that i get it sorted straight away?

could it be coming for the exhaust vibarating?

if its just when slowing down you could have warped your discs, thats what the vibration will be possibly

Want to have a good look at your brakes and check them out, make sure nothing is wrong with them, don't want to get a caliper sezied on there lol :rasp:

Won't be bearing if it is when slowing down, a bearing would get worse as you go faster, as said it sounds like something wrong with your brakes, check them out
