Breaks Are Doing My Head In

Featured Replies

Hi i drive a fiesta 1.3i endure e engine petrol 51 plate. what it is when i break iam hearing a scraping noise but i only hear this now and again and it sounds like its comeing from the right drivers side front wheel. now my breaks feel fine when i stop etc but its just this scraping noise which like i said only hear it now and again like last week when we had that nice sunny weather never heared it once today its been raining all day and ive started to hear it do u think i need new pads discs or can it be something else cheers alan.



could just be wet brakes mate gettin used to the nice weather then back to the bad stuff....

Sounds like a small bit of surface rust on the discs. This is normal and the rust will wear off after you have breaked a few times. My mk7 does the same when i fire it up after not using it for a few days. If you are worried it is metal on metal check the discs to see of there is scoring on them it will be visably obvious if there is.

it's normally the rear drums that are making the noise, happens with the ford ka we have only if it has been sitting for a while or if it's been wet.
