Help!!! Noise In Cup!!!

[Little Newms]

I have had my 172 cup for 3 days now and one of the faults with it is that there is a really loud squeking (spelling!!!!) noise coming from the drivers side at the bk, almsot like rubber rubbing together???? When ever i hit the slightest bump it sets it off, any one had the same prob or know what it could be? I have it booked in for the 28th so hopefully they will sort it out... But any help now will be much appreciated : )

I think buying a cup was a bad idea. V6 all the way can pick them up for £13,000 these days i hear

Has it got a rear strut brace fitted?

Well done on getting the Cup mate,

I get the same thing in my 172, have had it for about 6 months now, but its steadily getting more annoying.

Same place as you, driver side at the rear over bumps. Sounds like ive got a bloody budgie on the back seat......

I thought it was the rear seat not locked in properly, but have ruled that out. Let me know if you track it down

I had the same kind of squeek in my 1.2 16v and im 99% sure that its the rear suspension springs. It happens a lot in the wet. Its really irritating.

Hi Mike,

Checked parcel shelf, still does it without that in, so probably is rear shocks.

Cant remember if its only done it since i put the Eibach springs on, pretty sure it was doing that before then though.

Ill have to be brave enough to let someone else drive it down a bumpy road, while i climb around in the back trying to locate it.

Due for my 24k service in a month or two I expect so might ask you to take a look when its in.

 

[Little Newms]

Yeh mine goes in on the 28th so ill get them to have a look whilst they fix all of the other probs..... But dosnt sound likje the suspension, sounds like its coming friom the boot lid????? Ah, got to love the french build lol
