Braking noise
A braking noise doesn't always have the same origin. Its type (sharp, metallic, dull) and when it appears help guide diagnostics.
Possible causes
Scored or warped discs
Scratched or warped discs can cause friction or vibrations in the pedal.
Foreign object or moisture
A small stone or surface rust after rain can cause noise for a few brake applications.
Questions to ask the garage
- What is the remaining thickness of the pads and discs?
- Should I change the discs or just the pads?
- Has the brake fluid been checked?
Indicative preliminary diagnosis. Does not replace a vehicle inspection by a professional.
