Squeaky Brembos?

[Dan Cupra R]

For as long as I can remember my Brembos have squeaked. Obviously its very irritating to say the least.

Now, I have changed my discs and pads on the front before which made no difference and the back discs and pads have also been changed. The Brembos still squeak.

I've had my brakes cleaned using the copper grease which did help briefly. No sooner had I got used to no squeaking it came back again

So, new pads, discs and brakes, cleaned up, and they still ***** squeak

Those of you that run Brembos, do you get this and if so, is there a cure? If there is what have you done to combat this?

ooo i hope there is a good way to stop this! mine squeak annoyingly as well, the discs are only half worn so its not worth replacing them quite yet

 

[Dan Cupra R]

Just for the record, When I replaced the discs, it was due to them being shot as well as the pads. I didnt just buy new pads and discs for the sake of it

i dont have brembo's as i dont have an R but my brakes did annoyingly squeek aswell.. my disks and pads were goosed so i changed those, when i changed them gave the calipers and carriers a good clean up with brake cleaner, can of the stuff on each corner, copper greased them up and re-assembled them with the new parts.. squeeking has now stopped

squeek free for about 4-5months so far.. touch wood!!

See, mine lasted about 4-5 days without squeaking

i did give mine a thorough clean up.. wire brush, 2cans of brake cleaner, some blue roll copper grease and it was all good..

oh.. see if you ever want to clean up oily bits from your engine bay.. Brake cleaner works the bomb!! previous owner had spilled drips of oil all about ma engine that had caught bits of dirt into it etc.. cleans up pretty good!

full service and strip down and seal kit should help your case to reduce the noise. Focus RS's suffer the same problems with brembo's almost impossible to get them to stop squeaking!

I've heard of anti squel plates, but not idea how they work or where you get them from.

Do they squeal on low down speed like just coming to a stop or when braking hard?

Only on low speed phil, at its worst when its stop start in traffic which is really annoying

What discs and pads are you using? Standard seat or aftermarket?

My brembos squeek v.badly aswell. Have done it since I got them and the discs and pads had v.minimal mileage on them. Is v.bad at low speed with gentle braking but I dont know about high speed, hard braking. Anti-squeal plates sound good.

I run ds2500 pads and brembo discs.

 

[Dan Cupra R]

Im using the standard pads & discs on the brembos

 

[Ibiza125]

To get rid of the squeaking, take off the pads and clean up where they sit on the caliper, then put some copper grease on. Should last longer than a couple of days...

I suspect these plates will go in place of the grease. Must be some fancy metal that doesn't squeak...

squeak!

brake squeak fairly normal in modern pads, no asbestos! squeak is the small metal filings in pads making contact with brake discs! can reface pads but it will return! sorry!

 

[Adam R]

i thought that was one of the 'things' about brembos... they always squeak. i just thought that was normal, as my dads old car had them on and they squeaked but once hot they where fine.

 

[pj1985]

Mine squeak when hot aswell.

Squeaky Brakes

Hi Guys,

Just replaced my front discs and pads and rear pads on my 2002 cupra R. Running standard brembo discs up front with ds2500's and standard rear pads and discs.

before i changed them last week they didn't squeak one bit but now they do and only at low speed before stopping well annoying...but strangly they only do it ocassionally-lifes a beatch!

 

[cupra_ahhh]

I have an 04 Cupra R and mine have never stopped squeaking. when i picked it up they put brand new discs and pads on all wheels, and since then, its been to the garage 3-4 times to try and stop it, and every time its in for a service and MOT I aske the dealer to clean them, and its never lasted more than a week.

My dealer has told me that it’s the Cupra R’s that are renowned for having squeaky brakes and there is very little that can be one about it..

I’m now considering getting new brake kits for the front just to stop it.

It’s extremely loud when I’m stopping, and when im moving forward at less than 20mph it squeaks.

And when I reverse, it sounds like my cars making a whale song.

I would love to find a resolution, as I know the brakes have plenty of life in them. But having put up with the noise for more than 2 years now its getting to the point where enough is enough.
