Macan Caliper issues - Fixed

[nomunic]

What’s up everyone?

Been taking a little break from the car stuff as I’ve been dealing with a few personal and financial things.

I installed my Chinese Macans a while back. Followed the guide and used the red rubber grease. I’ve bled them like 15 times and the car stops like a car, can’t really tell if it’s better or worse tbh.

The issues I’m facing:

1) when braking hard from really high speeds, the brakes vibrate a bunch and don’t feel as quick to bring me to a stop. I looked at the rotor and there are some interesting wear marks on them.

2) when coming to a quick complete stop, there is a sort of low pitch squeak that occurs. Not sure if I need more grease or if that’s just an oem macan pad issue.

All parts were new when installed

Are you sure it's not just ABS engaging?

Light doesn’t kick on, I might just need someone to drive my jalopy to let me know.

Nah nah, the brakes work extremely well. I think this is a dumb install error. It's my first set of brakes with more than one piston.

1. sounds like pad judder. did you use fresh rotors? you'll need to get the old material off.

2. that's normal, try using grease where the pins and backing plates make contact.

Fresh rotors and pads. Maybe they need to be bed a bit better than they were?
