Only 7500 km but I guess I do drive it hard. Noticed today my brakes are squeeling. Never did before no matter what the temp. It has been alternately warm and cold, if that has anything to do with it.

I wonder, could some dirt or debris be causing it? I washed last weekend but have gone longer with no noise. Is it possible that driving hard could wear them down this fast? I think I'll take it in on Saturday to check the pads unless it goes away tomorrow (might try to wash it also and see if that helps).

You guys think it's way too soon for new pads? Anybody get squeel all of a sudden at this low km where before you didn't have any?

Thanks.

 

i only have 6600 miles on mine, and, my brakes squeal too. there's something the dealer can spray on there to reduce the squeaking. but, it doesn't bother me that much so i just live with it.

 

this is normal, after the brakes heat up they should go away.

 

Sorry everyone, I posted before reading over threads on this.

... I'm doing it now.

 

they're aggressive brakes and they'll squeal...they applied some solution on mine a while back to eliminate the sound. But they're back now...and everyone can hear when I step on the brakes :-P

 

mine squeal too...hate it...

Going to change mine when mine are shot..

 

guys are your brakes constantly squeeling? They shouldnt squeal at all after a few minutes of driving,

 

There's a TSB for brake squeel. Mine squeel when it is cold and wet. Only once Quite embarassing...

 

Thats for most cars out there...but some 8s have this stupid issue...that they squeal, not because they need warm up...it's just how they are..

Mine squeal most of the time.....

 

Like I said before, squeaky brakes are good! It means you have a fast one.

 

Mine squeel too. Ain't no thing.

I'm with Neo. Squealing brakes just mean you're serious. I'll be putting on some squealier and seriouser pads whenever we get to the point that the temp doesn't drop below 10C. That's right Neo... I'll challenge you to a brake-off. Then we'll bake cookies on our rotors.

 

I have a thread on this also...

 

Hey don't forget this too....
