I have the same problem. When slowing down i hear a squealing noise! I just thought it was grit or sumit on the brake pads!

It sounds like it is coming from the right front wheel. My car is the Same Punto Mk2 2002!!

i also though it was a piece of grit, but i have read so much over the past week it worrys me that it could be pricee to fix the problem, here hoping for u and me, thats all the car needs is some new brake pads

sounds like mauybe a siezed caliper causing break pad to bind slighty ? does the wheel get hot DONT toucj the break disc as you may burn yaself but does teh squeeking wheel feel warm/hoter that one on other side after driving

 

[dannufc16]

it aint hot but as i was driving today i could here something defo touching the disc on the drivers side and it relly sounds louder when i turn right, i.e like something on the disc catching on the pads, how much do u think it would cost cus i really have no money at the moment is it going to be pricee from what i tell ya, hope not
