Need your help.

For a few week end but definitively since yesterday after washing the car, I ear a tac-tac noise from the front AS if a big stone was lock on the tyres.
It increases when accelarating slightly
it changes of intensity when slaloming but do not disappear on one side systematicaly
I ear it in first and second gear after it is too noisy with wind and engine to ear it.
It is not a rattle (from stone, coins,...) because reving at rest is perfect

I suspect a cardan (in french) and do not understand otherwise the "cyclic" effect

FYI I have pagid brakes and ohlins.

thanks for any input

I get this on my S1 and when it happens I "re-bed" in the brakes. (lots of stops from 60mph down to 30mph repeatedly and a couple of big stops from high speed down to a standstill) really got the pads and discs up to full heat.

The problem goes away for a while but always seems to come back.

Dunno what exactly is going on though?

Just an update of my own topic:

Car is at the dealer who told me it comes from the pagid which are slightly smaller than oem parts and may vibrate at low/medium speed.
I do notice that the noise stopped completely when breaking even slightly!!

Anyone else with this problem fitting pagid on lotus caliper?
