Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • squeaky noise when braking

    I discovered some unusual squeaky noise - just once when braking somewhere on the left between DSG and left wheel. Checked brake pads, they are 5mm at least. It doesn't relate to DSG gears changes, but not sure if other things were not lubricated. The car was serviced 3 months ago for 60K, I guess I have to bring them back. Has anyone had such noise?

    Could have picked up a small piece of gravel between the disc rotor and the backing plate ? If it only did it once then chances are it's already dislodged itself.

      I had one on my Skoda, kept moving around so somtimes it would squeal like the bejesus, other times totally silent. I took the wheel off and removed it myself ( it was driving me and the missus nuts).

        Hey Greg,

        I had one stuck in between the back plate and the rotor and it screeched like a wild pig every time you applied the brakes. I had to remove the wheel to get it out and even then it took some persuasion to pry it out.
