Squaking brakes

[daboy3000]

This is getting so bad now that i'm losing my mine, i drive around in my lovely clean FR and sound like a bus every time i put my foot on the brake.

This started ever since someone crashed into me, mostly into my alloy, could be coincidence but if it was the pads that need changing wouldn't i get a warning light come on?

Been happening for a couple of few months now, gets worse in the heat or if i've been driving for a while.

Help!!

So you've got this noise for months and not yet checked your inner brake pads???

Like i said, thought a warning light came on when they needed changing, at first i thought it was a bit of grit or something, to be honest i've had a lot on my plate recently and my car was not my priority.

Yeh, brake pads would be the first port of call. Its a simple job to change them so no worries.

 

[daboy3000]

cool, cheers.

Is that a no to the warning light then?

 

[Cupra137]

I wouldnt have thought a warning light would come on for it, as they pretty much make it clear when they need changing lol.

They'd deff be worth a look at tho

There might be a warning light depending on what pads you have fitted to the car.
Only the OEM pads have the sensors
