What Causes Brake Noise in Volkswagen Vehicles?
1 Answers
Reasons for brake noise in Volkswagen vehicles: 1. Check if the handbrake mechanism of the rear wheel caliper is stuck, causing dragging. 2. Brake pads are too hard, causing noise, or the brake pads and brake disc are not properly fitted, which usually happens with newly replaced brake pads. 3. Perform maintenance on the brake caliper to see if the guide pins are stuck or the piston of the wheel cylinder is stuck. 4. The brake disc is uneven; you can replace it with a new one or remove it to flatten it. 5. Apply brake anti-noise paste on the back of the brake pads, which is essentially a high-temperature resistant grease; it helps the brake pads stick to the caliper and prevents vibration.
