I was wondering how bad the Auto Zeds are with creep - something that drove me nuts with my Auto Focus I had. Every time I came to a stop I got a creaking noise as the car pushed against the brakes, is it really noticeable in the Auto Zeds? I've only ever driven - or ridden in Manuals bar one Auto, but couldn't hear due to him having his stereo up...

 

I'm just wondering, as this really is the only thing that puts me off Auto's...

 

So Auto owners, be honest now, how bad is it?

No creak on mine. And never heard of this kind of creaking. Only caliper creak, which is no fault of an autobox!

sounds worse than it is...i reckon you come to ignore it after a while...cant say i notice anymore but now you've said it i'll be listening for days...:)

ive not noticed it on mine ,, ,never heard it ,,

That's reassuring, it was terrible on the Focus, creaked like an old boat lol but I figured it wouldn't be a problem on a Zed...

 

Anyone remember how much a manual conversion (fitted) is just in case? ;)

Think you're all getting mixed up with creep and creak!

 

All auto's creep a bit, they have to start moving when you take your foot off the brake or they wouldn't go anywhere!

As for creaking that's down to the condition of your brakes.

That's exactly right mate, I know all auto's creep, it must have just been my Focus had crap brakes... cheers everyone
