Squeaky brakes

Ravinder · 21st June 2022, 14:56

Last week, had new front brake calipers, discs and pads fitted on the diesel auto. Brakes are very squeaky it’s doing my head in. What would this be down to and how do I rectify it?
Brake discs and pads are mintex ones bought from a seller on the forum.

Thanks.

Did you clean all the rust proofing off the disc friction surface, has the pads been copper slipped on the rear faces and where they mount in the carrier's.

If not then I would start there, could be a bad set of pads deglaze the friction surface with 80 grit sandpaper and see if it continues, if it does then you will probably have to get another set of pads

No idea why - but in very hot weather my brakes have been known to squeal.

Mintex pads are known to have been faked in the past. Not saying the ones you have are, but.
