Clicking Brembos

[AlexGSi2000]

Noticed this last night.

When pressing on the brake pedal, I get a clicking noise from the driver side brake caliper, I can feel it through the pedal also.

Its whenever it gets to a certain point on the pedal, it clicks every time.

Anyone else experienced the same?

hows your disks?

 

[Dougy]

I'll trade your clicking for my sqeeking ones

Well embarrasing, I bet i could play a song like a violin with my brakes

Mine were doing exactly the same, i just removed my calliper and cleaned up the disk abit also did the pads aswell, and so far so good

i will swap yours with mine, mine have warped two sets of discs in 6 months!!!

brembo's trade is squeaking.

clicking i would put my money on warped disks/ worn pads.

 

[AlexGSi2000]

The disks are hardly worn in, and the pads have a fair bit of meat left on them.
Will give them a strip and a clean.
To be honest, im not impressed with the Brembo's ...
On my fiesta iv got the 300mm conversion from the mondeo, they are **** hot.
Even when taking into consideration the ibiza is heavier, I was quite shocked...
Im not thinking their braking as they should, so im going to be stripping them right down.

when i first put my Porsche Brembos on the cupra i though exactly the same, but i have now put 305mm discs with standard Porsche pads, and they are a massive improvement

working brembo's will plant your face in the windscreen, more so with decent ds2500 pads/hoses

there must be something wrong with chris's brembo's then as they dont feel that agressive.

 

[chrissy1502002]

No there isnt, they are fine now since i put the new discs and pads on

 

[MIkey kc]

the clicking noise could be the pads moving forwards and backwards, if you look at the pads on bembo brakes the holes are not round where the pins go through to hold the pads to the caplier the holes are elongated, that allows the pads to silde and cause this knocking, best fix is just strip and clean

How do you stop Breaks from sqeeking?

get them fooking hot...

its a trait of brembo's to squeel / squeek.

as im aware the only way to stop this is by using the brakes hard and getting everything hot... apparently the squeeking then goes away

My brembo's definitely aint working properly then!! To be honest the brakes in my mates bog standard VW Passat feel 10 times better. I can barely make my girlfriends handbag fall off the back seats if i lock on the brakes at 40mph.

Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this?

My mate at Audi did a full brake fluid service and it has made absolutely no difference.

Could this problem be due to a lack of servo assist due to the following problem?:

My car has not been recalled but this could be due to the fact that it was an import and/or that it now has a private plate. Im not sure whether its worth giving Seat my chassis number so they can check if this needs changing.
