Pompey Andy Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 DA, have just started getting a metallic scraping noise from the rear nearside when turning right. It's going in tomorrow as they said it might be the brake rear plate scratching. Do the 2011 CRV's have brake sensors on them, and the other strange thing is when I apply the brake it stops the grinding noise. May be a wheel bearing I guess it has 92K on the clock.

Trevor Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hi Andy Sounds like the rear pads are getting low and reaching the audible wear indicator (thin plate that contacts the discs when brakes applied and sometimes when cornering which could indicate slight wheel bearing wear). Also, make sure your diff fluid is changed regularly otherwise you get a clunking from the rear on full lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Andy Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi Trev, you were correct it was new pads and discs as the were below the minimum as well. £303 all in so not too bad and the first time I have had to change them since I got the car. I had the rear diff fluid changed at 65K as I was getting vibration on the steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Andy Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Mind you I was surprised that there was no indicator light to warn me rather than the scraping noise, but now know. Is it the same for the front brakes. Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 They use an audible wear indicator which is a thin piece of metal that comes into contact with the brake disc and create a scraping sound. The fronts should have the same but if they look low I would be tempted to swap them out before they reach the wear indicator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
