Neilp Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Remove pads and copper grease the back of the pads and shims where it meets the pistons on the caliper. Mines do this every 6-8 months Edit: horrendous iphone spelling error corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Alex, what's the difference between copa slip and copper grease? I'm sorry I don't know but I'm just about to fit new pads and was wondering what's the best to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry I don't know but I'm just about to fit new pads and was wondering what's the best to use? They are similar products mate. Audi do a superb "grease" Can't remember the name of it tho. I have been using a PBC of late with superb results which resists heat up to 1200 C toboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 if it does it on every revolution of the wheel without the brake being pressed, then it hows signs of your disk being slightly warped. As you said once the brake pedal is pressed it stops. Thats becasue the pad pushes against the disk causing a constant connection to the disk, when its depressed, the disk warp slightly catches a pad on each turn. Just like when you have a buckle bike wheel and it catches the V brake on every turn. Try copper slip, first though. while doing it, spin the disk and look for any warping.

350 Russ Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 mine make a horrendous squeal when i come to a stop! i think my pads are ok, if i grease them will it stop the squeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 mine make a horrendous squeal when i come to a stop! i think my pads are ok, if i grease them will it stop the squeal? Yes. (or at least it should) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 i think its caused by tiny vibrations of the back of the pad against the piston, which is why greasing the backs of the pads will stop the squel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pads are already low mate No i wash them with rag and alloy cleaner I wash weekly with a hose to the wheels/discs and my Brembos exhibit excatly the same symptoms as OP. What's the problem with using a hose?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 You could be washing off the stuff (grease) that stops it squeel. You got new brakes don't you? Did you guys use grease and shims when fitting your front brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you guys use grease and shims when fitting your front brakes? Shouldnt be a problem with a normal hose, but a pressure washer directed at the brake pad area may wash out the grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Lol I'm talking shite, I kept my shims in. How come the fronts never had metal shims but the back has one on top of the shim which comes on the pad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
