Hi guys,

First post here.

I bought a used 2012 auto 86 a couple of weeks back. I'm starting to notice every time I drive off, there's this sound coming from the rear. It sounds kinda mechanical, like some sort of electric motor/servo is engaged at the rear axle, and it ends with a subtle 'clank'. If anybody has ever tried one of those cars with electronic parking brakes, it sounds something like that when you turn it on.

I also notice it only happen once after I turn on the engine and drive off, and exactly at 17 km/h, either at 1st or 2nd gear. Doesn't happen again until the next time I turn on the engine.

Let me know if anybody else faces the same situation. Sorry for the horrible English, not my native tongue.

Cheers.
