UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

hello all just wondering what this squeeling noise is that is coming from the front wheels assuming its the brakes as when i press them it stops.

I have recently fitted new discs and pads (a week ago to be precise) as the brakes were allready making a noise due to not having any pads left in them and the discs being really worn.

This noise is starting to worry me now as not sure what it may be can anyone calm my nerves thanks for your help.

If you recently fitted new one's thats your answer.
Basically they're wearing in.

Least i think im right anyways, thats what my mate said when i questioned the noise on his zetec s.

the noise stops when you press the brakes?

well yes the noise seems to go or at least fade when i apply the brakes have you any idea to what this may be? cheers.

mine squeaks for a second as i let go off the brake. like its a cable or something.

it may stop once its weared in. altough wen i fitted mine it never squeaked at all even wen it wa wearing in :S

f the break pads are making contact, even slightly, when the brake isnt applied then it will squeak. Happened to me last time i serviced the polo. Its cause i bought chitty cheap pads from german and swedish that were probably not molded to the right size lol.

Itll go away with use.
