Hi all

 

Just wondering whether anyone has done the above.  Got a grumbling from the NSR and it sounds to me like it's probably just the sliders/pins that need a re-greasing.  Rumbles at low speed braking and whap-whaps just as you set off with that sort of noise that suggests a dragging pad.

 

Car is a '19 272.  It's a long time since I've had to do this on a car, but if it is just the above then I'm loathed to fork out for the labour for someone else to do it.  Is there anything else I should be aware of?  

Nothing out the ordinary if you're only cleaning up and greasing the pins, no need to retract the electric park brake unless you're replacing the pads. Check the condition of the discs, especially the inside; these love to go rusty and could well be the cause of your noises.

Cheers chap.  It was the EPB that I was worried about to be fair!  My thinking was to take one pin out at a time to clean and re-grease, but wasn't sure if I'd need to retract the EPB.  I don't have VCDS or the like (yet)

 

Mind you, I got an update from the wife last night that a warning light had come on now so I'm wondering whether there's more to it than just the pins afterall.
