Have posted this on "MGEVs Community" and thought I'd duplicate the discussion here in case anyone here is not on MGEVs community and can shed some light on this weird grinding/scrunching noise? I suspect if you always travel with the radio on you may not be aware of it. Some of the replies I've had suggest it is the "brake vacuum assistance pump" but the noise is more of a metal on metal grind - any ideas would be most welcome.
Thanks
"Hi all - wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
In the early days the noise was like that when a brake drum has worn down and you get a loud metal on metal sound - only lasts a second and is intermittent - only seems to happen at low speed (under 17mph) - sometimes when slowly accelerating, sometimes just cruising, sometimes easing off and regen starts to kick in.
Noise has progressed to a quieter scrunch - same symptoms and sometimes the car's speed is clearly momentarily slowed down. Seems to emanate from front right side.
Reported it just before lockdown but only able to get it back to dealer last week - lubricated suspension (?) and returned car.
It happened again today so back the car has gone....
Anyone else had similar issues? "
Thanks
