Is there a quick way to verify if somethings caught on my rear disc?

Featured Replies

My rear right disc that i recently replaced along with the pad, screeches every now and again like theres something stuck between the pad and disc. Is there a way to confirm this without stripping the system down? Its not a constant screech its just every now and again which is why im thinking its not a stone or something as the screeching would be constant wouldnt it?

Have you got a pair of springs fitted to the handbrake mechanism?

 

I had this on my vRS and it was simply the pad not being fully released sometimes.

I haven't yet? I've heard galaxy springs are fantastic but I've not gotten any yet. Where can I get them from?

Probably cheap pads, might not have grease on them or a chamfered edge causing the odd screech.

Mintex pads are common for it.

If there was a stone stuck you'd see a score on the disc

I would hazard a guess as already mentioned of sticking handbrake

There is scoring on the disc the parts I used were brembo don't think they were greased also I did notice the handbrake changing today from one click tight to 3 or 4 until tight, soon went back to normal though. I'll look into those springs, do u reckon I need to strip the brake that side and confirm no bricks? I'm 99 percent sure when I built them up I wiped them off prior to fitting

That is what caused my old B5 Passat to sound like a taxi when braking, I had bought ATE discs and pads from ECP, trouble is VAG used anti-squeal material on "their" discs, ECP just sold basic "fit lots of cars" pads without ant-squeal material. Everything about the pads was correct just no anti-squeal material, and that application seemed to need it.
