Squeaky brakes!

[kiran111]

Have a Skoda Octavia 08 plate.

The rear driver side brakes are very squeaky. They only tend to this when I gently apply the brake but gets a heck of a lot louder the more I drive the car.

Have read on a few forums about applying copper grease to the pads and discs, checking anti-rattle springs on the brakes, etc.

Replacing the pads and discs altogether has also been mentioned. (Not gonna be likely as they are virtually new)

I'm aware it's a common problem with some of these cars but was also wondering if anyone else has had experience with dealing with these issues?

Cheers all.

I had exactly the same problem until I realised it stopped when I turned the radio up.

Im experience squeaky brakes usually means new pads etc , or a bit of dirt/grit has gotten into the brakes ....

but i agree , turning the radio up usually solves the problem !

I'm no mechanic but copper grease is what Ed China uses on Wheeler Dealers

Light smear of copper grease to the back of the pads maybe definitely not on the discs. Sounds like you may have had not original parts fitted.
