  1. My drivers side seat is showing some signs of fading and wear to the leather, does anyone know of a leather treatment or cream I can use to restore the colour back to black to smarten it up?
  2. ok I have had the wheels off tonight to have a look and nothing seems amiss. However I did find that the outside front right brake pad could be moved fractionally with my finger creating a knocking sound.. the other 3 pads all sit firmly on the disc with no detectable movement. I'm wondering now whether a few high speed stops might resettle the piston back firmly onto the pad?
  3. Thanks, will be checking all these. Not the wheel nuts though, checked those recently. I was expecting it to be something like the pad spring clips or such like but I need to have a look to see what the set up is on these brakes. I will certainly compare one side to the other though for any obvious differences Wanted to have a good look before going back to CC for help. I had pad knock once before on another car after brake pads/discs were changed and that went as mysteriously as it came..
  4. No pumping. I used to get a lot of judder at low speeds but that was due to a warped disc.
  5. Hello all I'm very new here, have had my C7 a few months and have recently had new discs on the front. I am now getting a very loud knocking sound at low speed that seems to be coming from the front right wheel. As soon as I drag the brake pedal it disappears (so hence I think it's pad knock) and I can't detect it at higher speeds (above 20-30mph it seems to stop). I was going to get the car on the stands tonight to have a look, any advice on what to check for? It's a 2002 SV with the ventilated disc/superlight caliper set up. Thanks
