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.

"Cleaning" the brake pad residue with the 60 - 0 quick stops definitely works for me.

I haven't had the problem with stock pads, but the Pagid orange squeel enough that I change back to stock after every DE!

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My brakes make a squeak sound as I come to a stop...Any suggestions? I broke in the brakes and discs for the first couple hundred miles. I am now at 1250miles.

POST 2Original post

My dealer told me brake dust builds up easily (causing squeaks) and the best way to take care of it is to get the car up to speed (70ish) on the highway and then REALLY step on the brakes (make sure no one is behind you first). Seems to help...

POST 3Original post

You need to exercise your brakes more, find a safe seclded spot and do some 0-60-0 runs, feel the acceleration and the ABS. Your brakes should become quiet

POST 4Original post

That's strange, I find just the opposite from BSC and Mjones. When I drive the car hard using the brakes a lot I find that they usually start to squeal. Then after driving for a couple days using mainly engine compression as a brake (my usual technique in normal driving) the squeal then goes away.

POST 5Original post

Find a deserted street or parking lot, and start out in reverse, build up a little speed and slam on the brake pedal (the one in the middle ) and it will STOP squeaking.....I think alot of this is due to crossdrilled rotors and dirty pads

POST 6Original post

"Cleaning" the brake pad residue with the 60 - 0 quick stops definitely works for me. I had to repeat the procedure within a few days after the very first time, but now the results seem to last longer. Which brings up another question... what are the effects on mechanical or fluid systems from using "engine compression as a brake"? Seems like riding each gear down over several seconds would stress something much more than say a heel-toe prior to an immediate throttle.

POST 7Original post

I haven't had the problem with stock pads, but the Pagid orange squeel enough that I change back to stock after every DE!

POST 8Original post

Yeah, Pagid yellow are loud too. But I'd miss the squeak if it would disappear! --Pierre
