Does ANYBODY know why squeeling brakes squeel and how the hell to get rid of it. otherwise i might rip my brake disks off.

Cheers

aight, well i have an uno (soon to buy a bravo) and my breaks squeeled soo badly on that to.

took ot to a good garage and i thought it was the break pads or discs, but what i was told is that its just the break dust. He then got an air gun and blew away all the dust and it was sorted.

worked for me on my little uno.

give it a try

Cheers mate, i'll give that a try

I had a bit of a squeel on mine, I took it to kikFit for a free break check.

Turned out just to need a clean and some copper grease or something, chargerd be about £5. fixed the problem.

Re: Re: Help!!! I'm going out of my head with annoyance

It's a common problem with modern pads.

A quick fix is to direct a hose at the front brakes (take the wheel trims off first if you've got them). I aimed a jet of water through the wheels at the calipers and discs, and it solved the problem.

If it persists, just take the wheels off and take out the pads, and use a brake cleaner (you can buy aerosols in motor factors: just follow the instructions). It can also help if you smear a tiny amount of copper grease on the back of the pads, but make sure you don't contaminate the face of the pads: that'd be a good way to stop the brakes working!
