hello everyone had my 2000 C4 for almost 6 months and still loving it to bits! while out driving the other day i noticed a loudish noise coming from the front brakes when i used them. only happened when applying them at higher speeds! they were fine up to about 70 but everything higher and the noise appeared. noise is best described as a deep whirring i supposes. is this normal? when i bought the car the rear discs/pads were new but the fronts are older. keep the car outside unfortunately and have had some trouble with rusting discs but drive the car regularly and the grating noise always goes after a few applications. any ideas?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
