Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
If there is any contamination, you could use some brake cleaner to try and remove it (be careful with the cleaner, if you use one of the aggressive ones).

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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I put new pads on a few days ago. At the same time I resurfaced the rotors and since the front left have started to squeal. (Like a warning tab) The brakes are surging also when I stomp on them anyone with an idea on what it could be. Thanks

POST 2Original post

These rotors don't resurface very well. My bet is that you need new ones. Let us know if that is the case!

POST 3Original post

You may well need new rotors... but first, did you ensure the wheels were torqued properly (with a torque wrench, not a calibrated elbow ) when you did the job originally? Is there any way you could have got grease or some other type of contamination on the pads or rotors when you did the work? If there is any contamination, you could use some brake cleaner to try and remove it (be careful with the cleaner, if you use one of the aggressive ones).

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
