Lee_e Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 hey guys since i bought the car over 2 months ago the handbrake has been playing up once in a while and not latching onto anything , so it just comes back down freely. now only over the last few weeks it has got really bad and now just today i turned into my drive and spent (no lie) 5 minutes trying to apply it in many different ways [ANGRY][/ANGRY] but nothing. my old man said it could be broken cable,worn shoes or loose cable. am i right in saying even if its a loose cable it should still click into place? also theres a funny moaning noise coming from the front passenger side wheel, when i drive at any speed, it gets louder when slow driving or quieter when driving fast. could this be related to the problem? oh i have an auto jspec TT facelift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get a 2nd hand handbrake on here. Nothing to do with the front wheels though, maybe a bearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 sounds like a wheel bearing to me also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
