Put in copperslip wherever the pad makes contact with the caliper.

WARNING: DO NOT PUT BETWEEN PAD AND DISK

Hi there

The noise doesn't seem to between the break pad and the caliper .its only there when the pad rub against the disk. I replaced the pads because of the anti rattle clip that was making a rattling noise .

Thanks

What make pad did you replace the old ones with??

Hi

I replaced them with Boch pads the oke at the spare shop said they were not hard pads.
I previously had ATE pads.

OK, cause I replaced my brakes recently with Bilstein, and every now and then they will squeak... :thinking:
Maybe there are some hard particles inside the pad, and its this thats creating the squeak? :dunno:

Good quality pad surfaces are engineered not to squeak between pad and disk, unless they have become glazed from abuse.

Don't worry were you think the sound is coming from :fencelook:

Copper slip has always silenced squeaky brakes for me, be it in a Corsa or a Merc

Copper Slip works! It sounds like it's the pad squealing against the disc but it's actually the vibration of the pad in the caliper when the brakes are applied. This normally happens with a very hard compounded pad I found.

Have the same problem ... installed Bosch pads and have squeaked ever since, just waiting till they are finnished then using another brand.

Tried the following:
1) Removed pads and slapped on copper grease .. no luck.
2) Skimmed discs .. no luck.
3) Grinded the sides of the pads like originals from BMW .. no luck.
4) Followed bedding procedures .. no luck.

Personally I think these Bosch pads are $@#!

Guys, like I said, my brakes dont make the noise all the time, only sometimes, and then it will last for a few days, and gone again, which is why I say I think it might be hard bits inside the pad itself?? :dunno:
