Noises from my new Formentor?

[luv2xlr8]

Hey Mo, have the same brake noise except the ships horn noise you mention is usually at slow speeds when on full lock. Usually when parking in a car park space. Interested to know if the dealership does anything if you take it down that road, haven't bothered myself as a bit of a hassle especially if they just say it's normal. Will have to wait for the service but that's not until next year!

Hi Zak,

Yes same for me when reversing into a driveway with a 80% - 90% lock, although have not heard it for a while.
Recall hearing the break nose when was on a highway that was slowing down to a stop. I have a recording too.
I did end up booking her in to the local dealer and the Mechanic advised seems like light surface corrosion which will wear off eventually : ) ?
I have documented everything just to keep my self in the clear as brakes are a non warranty item.
Hopefully its just poor pads, which I could swap out for better quality ones in 4-5 months times.

Hi,

Visited the local dealer and been advised the noise I am getting is due to surface corrosion and the noise will eventually fade.
The second noise was not easy to replicate even though I shared a video. I am generally ok with the noises, as long as my brakes dont fail : )
For now, resorting to swiping the volume to the right, enjoy the music and drive!

Strange I have not had this on any other new cars in the past 7 years and I've had 9 of them from BMW and Audi . Why only the Cupra suffers noise from corrosion?

Guess I'll be asking this when my first service is due!
