emz Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 i have a t reg 1.8 focus zetec, and whenever i break it makes a scraping, clunking knocking noise, but only when i brake, it seems to be worse when the car starts and gets less as it gets warmer. i only brought it about 3 weeks ago, and i was told that it had new pads and discs. has anyone got any ideas?

jock0909 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Sounds to me like they lied about new discs & pads. If it was a dealer you bought from then take it back. Kwik fit don't sound like they have the diagnosis correct, I would be surprized if grooved discs could cause that noise (vibration is more likely from grooved discs) I suggest you take it to another garage (not tyre fitters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
