#1: Squeaking and squealing brakes on GTi 180 Author: cheekyage, Location: AustraliaPosted: Thu Oct 17, 2013 5:42 am ---- Hi guys,
My brakes are driving me absolutely mental with its annoying squeaking.
It's fine on start up but once they warm up it then starts.
Thing is the brake pads still have 90% wear on them.
The discs have been cleaned and washed to remove the brake dust. It lasted for about 15 minutes but the squealing came back
I can't remember the brand of brake pads but they weren't cheap n nasty ones and pretty decent.
Ok, so what is the best thing to do here?
Which brand brake pads are suited for the 180?
I'm not sure which are the genuine Peugeot ones? Brand type and part number would be handy
Thanks all.

It needs to be applied to the non contact side of the pads. Unless u have a brembo upgrade which do tend to squeal

The previous owner carried out the last mechanical service and changed the brakes.
The brakes are factory and not modified.

Either that or the disc itself is worn/uneven. could need some grinding down or replaced.
aside from that, as suggested, could be lack of copper greasing behind the pads or brake shims.

Also check for any small stones stuck between pad and disk.
In summer months if you live on really dusty lanes or tracks brake squeals can return quite quickly but I have never know a good rust removal and careful application of copper grease to fail.
