Hi I have a 1973 1200 bug with drums all round, when i brake there is a clicking noise which sounds as if something is stuck on the tyre and hitting the wheelarch but i have looked and there is nothing loose, also I can feel feedback through the pedal, and ideas what this could be?

Suggest you try on here, they will probably be more helpful as dedicated to air cooled vw's.

If it clicks once I'd say theres something loose like a wheel cylinder mounting bolt. If it's a continuous click I'd say somethings fallen off inside the drum. Either way it's drum off and have a look.

Cannot comment on your car unless its got anti-rattle springs!

My A4 did it just after changing the discs and pads.

I bent the spring getting it off causing the caliper to be loose.
