My 2007 Audi S3 8p makes clank nosie when reversing and applying the brakes has any one else experienced this?
 
You've just had new pads and discs fitted - maybe it's the moving when you reverse. Does it happen all the time or normally first thing?
 
It happens all the time when I reverse and when I press the brakes
 
New EBC front and rear discs and pads fitted 2 months ago
 
Are they slotted discs? Did you check that the rear calipers are not stuck / sticking as they often do with age and the first time you notice is when you wind the pistons back in to replace the pads. See if the rear discs are getting hot, but that sounds like it's your problem.
 
They are dipped and groved discs all around
And the callipers are sticking or getting hot and the nosie it seems like it’s coming from the front
 
I bet it's the pad moving inside the caliper - quite common on stock calipers. Make sure that brake hardware is in place and in good condition.
 
Grooved discs can cause quite a bit of noise in reverse as they are biting into the pads the wrong way. Is it a clicking/ticking noise or a rattling noise?
