metroseal Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi , my Wrx is 2months old and about a week ago the brakes got really noisy. The sound is like I've got metal to metal and is coming from all 4 brakes at same time. Went to dealer who said they checked the brakes and nothing wrong with them apart from " the elements " , he said its normal due to the weather ! Not happy but they are shrugging their shoulders saying they are fine . When I stop they sound like pure metal to metal scoring noise. Any ideas ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Are they ceramic pads? Think they make that noise, not pleasant but it's normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaiP Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Are they ceramic pads? Think they make that noise, not pleasant but it's normal. I don't think they're ceramic pads. I could be wrong though. Do you use your car much? I only drive mine once or twice a week and with the lovely welsh climate my discs are usually rusted over after a few days. A couple of applications of the brakes soon clears it. According to the owners manual there is a pad wear indicator warning that makes a scraping or squealing noise. Wouldn't expect your brakes to be worn that quick but the indicator might not have been buried deep enough in one of the pads during manufacture. Also, have you had your wheels off and checked your discs for score marks and had a look between the pads for any small stones that might be lodged in there. Would have thought the garage would have checked that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
