Brakes squeeking

[saxo_appeal]

Ok my brakes are still squeeking when im (obviously) braking, i took the car into a garage and they found nothing wrong with them.
How can i get rid of the noise? the brakes and discs were all new about a month ago

cheers

could just be a build up of shite mate get some brake cleaner n give that a go

[Yates]

stick the pressure washer next to them and give them a good blast, could just be mucky

could just be a build up of shite mate get some brake cleaner n give that a go

where would i spray the brake cleaner mate?

[SteVTR]

on the discs the last set of grooved discs i had used to do this so i had to blast the dics with stop quick every few months

[saxo_appeal]

ok, does this happen with all discs (like expensive ones or chep ones) ?

ok the story behind the brakes...

the illegal substance ispestos (spelling..the stuff used on roofs ages ago)
well this was used in the brake bads which results in the brakes not sqeeking! now the UK government has amde this stuff illegal and in turn all brake pads couldn't have it in them!

so now brake pads dont come with it and instead have bits of copper in them to help reduce noise but it doesn't work as well!

so there is nothing much you can do to permanently fix it

[saxo_appeal]

So does everyone get the same noise then from new pads and discs?smileys/smiley5.gif smileys/smiley5.gif

[rsands]

not neccessarily...but my car had new brake pads and after a month or 2 they started to sqeek....same as my mates car who had new brake pads, etc...

the new brake pads seem to give off more dust and it builds up alot more

[saxo_appeal]

cool ok thanks, ill try spraying them etc and see what happens

[starkie]

i cleaned all mine and they still squeek smileys/sad.gif fuckign breaks.. sounds stupid

[saxo_appeal]

LOl @ starkie, yeh it does sound shit like
Im going to scoosh them with a power wash the day and see if that gets rid of the build up smileys/smiley17.gif

[rsands]

the brakes need taken apart...the brake pads need cleaned, discs on both sides, etc...a power wash won't reach these areas properly

[Jungle_Jim]

just dont do what my 'mate' did and oil them lol as he crashed straight into a tree

[BMK]

My VTS also does it, It hate that sound, it sounds like cheapskate shit...
Bought a can of breakcleaner, hope it helps...

[pastieman]

take your wheels off remove pads and clean up with brake cleaner... put abit of copper slip behind the pad(not the braking material side)!!! this should cure it!!!

If you by pattern part pads they are shockingly bad buy green stuff or simular smileys/smiley4.gif

[saxo_appeal]

How the Feck do you get to the back of the back brake pads then??????? eerrrrrrrrrr
You need a special tool to get to the back ones on a vtr dont you?

[pastieman]

what model of saxo you got saxo appeal!!!

[saxo_appeal]

vtr 2001 matey

[pastieman]

so the noise is coming from the rears then....

haven't done the rear pads and disc's on my vts yet....

but if the piston in the caliper is on a thread you gonna need a piston retracting tool... you can use alternatives but i haven't looked yet to see what you could use...

some you can use a alan key, or torque fitting or a tool with with two teeth(if you like) to wined it in....

sorry not too much help but someone on here must have done a set.... coz i'm off work at the mo i can't really do anything on my car, can't use my right hand!!! so i couldn't just take them out to look for ya!!!

this is the first time i had a saxo and even worked on one

[saxo_appeal]

Dont know if its the front or the back that are squeeking

[pastieman]

lol you should have a idea!!! open your windows and turn your music down!!! lol

Do the fronts first mate as you know the setup there pads in and out easy!!!

but get some better information on rears...

as soon as i go back to work i'll have a ganders!!! i might even replace them anyways as the front need doing!!

[saxo_appeal]

Ok ok ok ok ......

I went and scooshed the fookers, all four of them right in without taking the wheels off......

DA DAAAaaaaaa !!!!! all squeeking has gone now

no more mice in the system lol

[pastieman]

nice mate..... i like it when its done easy!!!

see if it does it again when warm!!!

but it shouldn't
