tomroscoe Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I've had my 1 litre Zetec Fiesta for nearly 4000 miles now and still the front discs 'hiss' when I apply the brakes. I know it's just the discs as using only the rear drums the car comes to a silent stop, The garage said (at 500 miles) that the brakes would 'bed down', but this noise can be actually slightly embarrassing in a quiet car, it's that obvious. Anyone else had this, and is there a cure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris mitchell Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Vauxhall had the same issue with noisy front brakes on the Corsa d (more or less same as the fiesta and punto underneath) and it was down to the brake pad compound. In the end we had to use a fiat spec pad to stop the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomroscoe Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Thanks for the info Chris - it'll arm me when I go back with it as a warranty claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
