Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out.. I drive a MK7 Ford Fiesta Zetec S, and wondered if anyone has come across this sort of noise (file is attached) before?

It happens when I press the brakes ever so lightly when pulling up to traffic lights and just general slow braking etc. The noise doesn't appear when I brake at high speeds or if I press the brakes down harder.

I can't feel anything through the brake pedal, the brake performance hasn't been affected and also the noise only happens once I've driven at leave 3 or 4 miles, as if something needs warming up. The noise sounds like it's coming from the front drivers side.

I've taken it to a few garages now and they don't seem to know. So I'm pretty baffled really. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Can't see the file you attached but what you described is exactly the same as mine, also my steering wheel makes a knocking noise when I turn left while the car is reversing or going a few mph. Had the steering column apart at ford dealer and he said there was no problems and that some fiestas make a few strange noises. As long as the car is working fine and your brakes have been checked and they're ok then there's no real issue really. It's annoying but just turn the radio on and you'll forget its there.

If it's knocking when you turn the wheel, check the track rod ends. I had a rhythmic knock every time I cornered until I tightened both sides right up
