mrchic Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hi all Not sure of appropriate thread title, but on a few occasion's i've had a strange noise from the brakes. I'm certain its only happened when starting off from cold, although it happened today after being parked for about an hour and a half. So the noise I'm getting is as if the ABS is kicking in but just the noise and not actual juddering you can feel. Both times its been dry or damp conditions and not icy, and driving slow. After it has done it, braking after woods is fine, also taken on a quiet road and tested proper and that was fine. So its either really just a patch of greasy road or i have an issue. Thought i would post it up anyway, and feel it should be checked out. The car had new Discs and pads all round last September. Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Sounds like the pads sticking to the discs after raining or washing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOM'S_ZED Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I get a clicking sound if I roll forward brake then roll back and brake if yours is the same it will be the pads moving in the caliper could be down to.having cheap pads fitted (fitted by the used car dealer) and mot brembo,ebc cosworth etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrchic Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Not sure what pads are fitted to be honest, i don't think it states in my paperwork i got with the car, but the sounds I'm getting are as if the ABS is trying to lock unlock or similar as Ekona pointed out. Its due work soon, so will get it looked at just in case Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.r123 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 If it only does it the first drive of the day it will be as suggested by Ekona, corrosion on the disc's. you'll be amazed how quick they get surface rust on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
