smeaton Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hi again, For the last three weeks there has been a light squeeking coming from the front left hand wheel, in the last few days it has become alot louder and i have noticed only mainly occurs when the wheel is straight and at relativly low speed. The brake pad is in ok condition with a good 5mm left of the pad. Could this be the brake disc? There is quite a lip in it or could it be a warped disc in some way? Car details as follows: Model:Vw golf GTI 1.8T Year:2000 Engine colde: ? Mileage:69k Appreciate any help, Cheers Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VR6Sharan Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Dose it stop when you apply the brake very lightly not enough to stop you but enough to make the pads meet the disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeaton Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Thanks for the replies lads. Yes the squeeking stops when you lightly touch the brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes49 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 If it does that then the pads are moving in the carrier, Make sure all the antirattle springs are in place and the pads are free moving but not loose in the carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
