VX220 Owners Club: Squeek Coming From Brakes When Cornering - VX220 Owners Club

Hi everyone

as above really......

Im noticing that when taking left corners im getting a squeeking noise, ive defined it as the brakes as when I apply the brakes, the noise stops immediately!!

Do you have any ideas what could be the cause and any suggestions??

thanks

You running 1144's?

apologies for sounding dumb........ but what are 1144's? If they're pads, then im not sure. I only bought the car 3 weeks ago. I assume it is standard as its got a full vauxhall history??

Any ideas?

thanks

I recon it's probably carbon build up in the calipers. Mintex 1144 pads are well know for doing this as they wear very quickly and throw carbon deposits all over. Nothing to worry about and can be sorted by removing the pads, cleaning the caliper and pins with a tooth brush then putting it back together.
