(no its not the wife...)
In the last week i have noticed a quiet hum/groan noise from drivers side front when turning gentle bends at 20-30mph. Fine faster/slower/tighter bends/straight.
I can only think its a wheel bearing or cv joint?
At least i extended my warranty.
Will pressure wash just to check a dirty brake isn't binding perhaps.
Any thoughts/advice?
thanks

Getting worse. Washing helps but not for long.
Garage couldn't find any fault, said it was because the tyres are down to 3mm (Well done Huntingdon Audi...not)
I wonder if either the pad backs and slides need re-greasing? Any ideas.
Video attached for the real sound and way it effects.

I even get at at motorway speeds now.
Thanks

Took it to the audi dealer who wanted £50 to look at what they said was fine during service.
Took it to a local garage to simple strip/inspect/re-assemble. They found no fault, but the problem vanished immediately.
It was either corrosion/something seized or a stone stuck somewhere.
Interesting i had a very similar problem in the rear wheel of my other car a few months ago, turned out to be a stone stuck in the disk guard. Found and rectified for free by Porsche.
