Squeaking brakes

[Tadass910]

Squeaking sound on ceramics are normal I suppose

I disagree. My ceramics never squeaked.

Who knows maybe you ceramic are made from other material

Very common most of this is caused by not using the brakes hard enough
My 13 plate RS4 has 26k on original steel disks 2nd set of pads I occasionally get a squeal a low speeds but only after a long motorway run or a lot of stop start driving
This is solved by taking the car on a quite road a stamping hard on the brakes several time with out locking up the brakes to clean the pad material build up that causes the squeal

Yep, this is how to solve the brakes squealing.
Sometimes its called conditioning.
The method I used (that requires a nice long clear stretch of a road) is to brake hard, but evenly not locking the brakes (or abs kicking in) slowing from: 40mph to 20mph, 60mph to 20 mph, 80mph to 20mph, 60mph to 20 mph and 40 mph to 20mph.
Its great fun, but you look like a bit of a hooligan. Evens out the wear, which I understand gets a little uneven on these large brakes when not hammering them regularly!

Still on the original pads at 28K miles and I am told they are 40% worn but no squeaking on mine, so not sure that how you use them is necessarily the defining factor in whether they squeak.

A good stamp seems to have sorted mine for the time being

I have a squealing noise which can be random to appear but predominantly it comes on when I'm braking slowly. Really annoying.

Just out of interest what have other members paid for new discs and pads?

Well I can live with squealing sound, it's not big deal
