squeeking brakes

[Hanuman]

feels or sounds like its the front driver side on a 98reg VTR squeeking,

checked through receipts dont think its had pads changed or that i could see in 50k which is what its on, is there much point paying for all this greese / sprays when its more than likely to be pads .? what do you guys rekon try doing? because if i go to a garage regardless if it needs pads or not they are more than likely to say it did

get some copper grease/anti seize grease. you can get some form ebay for about £4 delivered for a 500ml tub. you will never need anymore in your entire life.

buy yourself some new pads from here:

have a look on here in the guides section about changing your front brake pads.

Smear some of the copper grease on the back of the new pads and replace the old ones. that should get rid of the squeek.

It will cost you about £25 to do this and about an hour of your time.

i done this ^ but my brakes still squeek...think some cars just have squeeking brakes and others dont!

Every car I own has rattling breaks! I did have squeaks on the vtr but new piston, pads and disks stopped it.

Don't know what to do about the rattles though, all the garages try something different but none seem to work.

Mine was squeaking/squealing last year. change of discs and pads and it was sorted. just wish i'd put GTI brakes on :wall:

[hesslevtr]

copper grease the back of pads

clean all the slides where the pads sit

maybe a tad of grease there to

that should prob cure it

also remove all the rust from the disc

[Predator_R32]

new pads, your discs could be warped

[Holmes23]

mines develpoed an annoying squeak, it had one before i changed me pads, buts its back now

never hear it with the music up though :p

[Hanuman]

doubt the discs are warped, doesnt judder under high speed braking and was fine when i got it and iv drove it carefully since so i doubt that, i mite try doin it my self is it hard work, depends if i find the tools, anyone know where to find a good tool set for this kinda job cheap ? cheers

Mine sqeual a bit are the pads are pretty new. Would cleaning the disks with meths help at all?
