Not sure if it's been discussed before but every time there is any hint of rain the brakes on my car make an awful noise when I set off..It's quite embarrassing when people look round at my car when the rear discs release with a loud 'clunk'....What experience do you guys have ? and what do you recommend to stop this happening.... Cheers
Hmm if I wash mine like properly jetwash so lots of water on the discs then park it up over the weekend it will do this on the Monday. Sounds like yours is with much less water and more frequent ?
Nope never had that Paul, not even after jet-washing them........................someone's bound to know though...........................
Yep every time there is rain it does it..****** annoying..Was wondering if pressing the brake button a few times would be the answer?
There is a fix. But for the life of me I can't remember what it is. Think it's something to do with copper greasing the calipers. Mines was doing it till I put it in for service in March and mentioned it. Hasn't done it since and it's rained heavily up here A LOT since then.
It rained for an hour yesterday at work in the morning.By the time I finished work 7 hours later they did this....Grrrrr
I will ask the guys across the road from my workplace to sort it for me...They owe me a favour or two..lol will let you know how I get on..
None of these symptoms mate sorry but l am sure a wee phone call to your local uber friendly Audi dealership will go a bit of the way to resolving your issue.
Cheers buddy...I will give the guys across the road from my works a shout first failing that Audi will be getting a call from me...
All my cars do it, bit of surface rust on the brakes is all it is, which quickly cleans off as soon as the pads touch them. Couple of dabs of the anchors as I reverse off and all is well. Only way to resolve is to fit aftermarket discs made from a different material I believe. Which is a bit excessive....LOL
Well the brakes are getting sorted as I type this. All done free of charge Hopefully no more clunking brakes. Thanks everyone for all your helpfull input..
Cheers 'grandadio'..... Just need it to rain now and find out if my freebie fix was worth the effort...lol
good stuff! OT here is there a easy way to see peoples cars to the profile name? IIRC there used to be a section somewhere on the profile 'garage' where you can easily see and put a name to the car? i know there is a section 'post your pics of your cars' but dont want to trawl through pages and pages
