Henny 0 Posted August 9, 2006 The brake pad anti-squeek spring (I kid you not) has either not been fitted, or has squashed down so that it's allowing the pad to vibrate against the disk causing the squeek... You can normally get around it by putting some copper slip on the back of the pads (NOT THE BIT WHICH TOUCHES THE DISK!!!) and on the edges where they touch the caliper to help stop it from vibrating and causing the squeek... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Are those spring bittys available from VAG do you know? Missing mine off my MK3 calipers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted August 10, 2006 depends on the caliper, some pads have 'em built in, others need a seperate part which is normally available aftermarket... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
