Noisy Brakes?

When i was getting my clutch replaced i got them to also have a look at the brakes as at low speed braking they squeel like a bitch. I am running DBA 4000 and Racebrakes DB74 i think. Anyways long story short i was told my pads, rotors and over brake systems is in great condition however he said that the pads are just such a hard compound that pretty much no matter what i do they will squeel. Alternative is to get softer pads.

Same combination as leech.

I've found the same thing as FAT32. I fitted the pads and rotors myself and bed them as per Racebrakes instructions. Used CRC Anti-Squeal paste on the shims. Not a sound for about 2,000km and now I have the low-speed/moderate braking noise. After applying the anchors quite hard going around bends the noise subsides for the next week or two. Could the RB74s glaze the disc and need strong braking to remove the glaze? Just a thought.

cowie i thought that too but when i got my brakes inspected they didnt seem to indicate that it was the cause eg glazing. The more so put it down to the hard pads... however in saying that what Pal has said was also mentioned to me by another guy who just popped up on the forum he said that putting a bit of grease between the shims might also help so i will probably give that a try in the next week or two as its getting really bad...

hahah hmm i got some project mu mads on the fronts, and they only make a noise, when i reverse out of my driveway.. thats the only time it makes a noise.. IM guessin coz its probably high temp reatted pads.. SO takes time for it to heat up..

but most of the jap brand pads makes noises..

Thats how your suposed to do it, every 200m or so (sufficient time to cool a bit) you should be giving your brakes hell until your almost stopped but never stop or there is a very real possibility of heat soak and warping for a fair few emergency stops.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
