Just replaced fr pads and discs now I  have a slight knock when I move forward then brake then when I reverse only on n/s tho . Thinking faulty spring clips on pads (pads moving in carrier)🤔,  rechecked everything , followed all torque settings,  coper greased used on pads . Fitted mintex pads and discs,  old pads were mintex with no problems . Any one else had this problem?  any suggestions ? 

I believe you've got this in the wrong section (being in the MkIII Fabia section) but a moderator should be able to move it. I'll mention @john999boy for said purpose.

Quite normal on VAG applications. If you google VW pad knock there are multiple sites with posts relating to it. Minr do this very slightly and they are TRW pads. It affects the larger 340mm brakes more than the 312mm variant. From what I can tell it is because the TRW caliper carrier does not have a spring clip on the top or bottom of the pad to reduce the play. It should reduce as brake duat builds up around it over time.

Thanks for info 👍  you are spot on . I cleaned the caliper carriers right up and got rid of all the built up brake dust that's why it wasn't doing it with the old pads .   I wonder if you can get shims to take up the movement 🤔.    I'll look in to this and post anything I find out .  Thanks for your input greatly appreciated 👍 🙂
