squealing sound
Hello everyone,
Is it common to have the squealing sound when brake? I only take my car out like once or twice a week and I started to notice more squealing sound coming from braking from the front side. I barely put any miles on it since I purchased and I have a lot of life on the pad. I heard ppl saying it's given with the OEM brake pad but just want to make sure this isn't something else.. so only way to cure this is to replace it with different pads? Update: not carbon ceramic brake Last edited by Infiniteflow; 08-26-2020 at 02:08 PM.. |

Have you taken the pads out to inspect? There is a chance that one or more of the brakes could have engaged and didn't back all the way off and pad has worn down to the tattletale on the back plate of the pad.
If you can have someone stand street side while you drive by slowly to see if they can audibly isolate which side and whether it is front or back. Check to make sure nothing is trapped between the brake caliper/bracket and wheel. I thought I had read somewhere that early models had an issue with caliper clearance from the wheels so look for any signs of etching inside the rim, this might have been related to CCB's on another F model though.

I have the cast iron rotors as well. At times, I'm convinced the sound of my brakes turns more heads than my actual exhaust does...
I'm sure it has to do with brake dust build up. 99% of the time the squealing is relieved post pressure wash for me. Try thoroughly cleaning your wheels and particularly your rotors / calipers. It's completely normal given their size. |

Anyone found a really good product for cleaning rotors?
I use the Car Guys cleaner: it works amazing on the dust/grime on the wheels and barrels but does not take care of the stubborn buildup of brake dust on the rotors themselves. |

I have CCB's on my F06 and it sounds like a busted up donk when rolling up to a red light. Usually after a soap and water wash they'll shut up for a while. Hopefully some other folks will chime in on their methods for cleaning and reducing brake dust adhesion. I'd like to spend less time on her wheels when washing her car.
