Hello everyone!
I wish I had something fun to post about, but instead, it's a brake issue
I have a 2017 VW GTI SE with a DSG and 63,000 miles. It has come time to change the front brake pads and rotors and I did the job about 3 weeks ago now. Now I am getting a very bad squealing noise coming from both sides on the front end when I brake. It only happens after about 10 or 15 minutes of driving so it's only when the brakes are warmed up, but it doesn't take much. There is no grinding and no noise when I'm not braking. If I really stump on the pedal there seems to be no sound. I actually replaced the front pads and rotors (drilled) with Brembo components so not true OEM, I'll post below.
Today I took everything apart and checked everything and cleaned it. out as well as applied CRC Disc brake quiet to the back of the pads ( This stuff ). It didn't seem to do anything. I have attached a video of the squealing sound. Any idea on what I should try next? I was thinking of different pads?
