Default MK4 Golf Peroidic squeaky noise

Hi All,

My 1.6 Golf squeaks from the back wheels when cruising without touching any
pedals, it squeaks for a split seconds and has a quite interval of ~1.5
seconds, soon as I put my foot on either the brake or accelerator it
disappeared. It starts soon as foot lift of the accelerator.

I tried to turn off the ESP but does the same. It's like this from day 1
when the car was bought from new, dealers say they can hear anything,
nothing wrong with the brakes but just a bit annoying.

Wonder if anyone got the same problem or know what's going on?

TIA

~ Chris

Noisy brakes seem to be a frequent problem on the MK IV. Use Google to
check the previous discussions in this group.

I had similar symptoms to yours, and particularly noticable at low speeds
and when cornering. In my case the problem seemed to be the rear caliper
binding slightly. As a result the pads wore prematurely. News pads and
cleaning/freeing caliper have fixed things.
