Question:
I bought a peugeot 206 1.4l, 2002, a few months ago. The brakes were squeaking so I took it to a garage who recommended changing the front discs and pads, which I did. A week later they have started sqeaking again! What is the problem, and is it expensive to fix?
Answers:
It may be a bad brake rotor.Take it to a mechanic and see.
Where to put new tires: front or back?
It could be brake dust from where the brakes are new. Go in and let the mechanic look at it. If it's just brake dust, they can clean it out in a few minutes, not very expensive. Plus, most car repair places guarantee their parts and service for X amount of time in case it is something else.I got car window paint on my acctual car. It ran down the window onto my door. How can I get it off?
The discs have to be resurfaced while they are bolted on the car. If you take them off the car and resurface them, they are likely to squeak. Secondly, hard braking within the first 500 miles of having new pads will cause the disc to glaze over which will require the surface being scuffed up with emory cloth or fine grit sandpaper. You will probably want to use a file and bevel off the edges of the pad at a 45 degree angle so that the pads can gradually re-conform to the surface of the disc.It will be the piston in the caliper sticking on, it will need freeing off or you will need another set of pads. Not expensive to fix. I had the same problem on my wifes A-class.
What is gas (Petrol) going for out your way?
When you took your car in for the squeaking brakes, it was because the little metal warning tags were rubbing your rotor to alert you that you needed new pads - as designed.okay, why is my engine whining?
(Assuming you had a competent brake job.) Sometimes new pads squeak because the caliper cylinder, that pushes the pads together, isn't relaxing fully. Usually due to the rust that accumulated as it sticks further out when the pads wear. The pads rub the rotor instead of having an air space. There is a product called Caliper Quiet that is essentially a rubberized adhesive that goes between your caliper and the pads. The rubber has a dampening effect, while the adhesive helps hold the pad away whent he brakes aren't applied. This is less than an hours work to apply.

Garages, dependig on where you live, may charge $65 - $95 an hour. Should be under $100 to have it done for you. Should be less if the it was done by the ones who did your brakes.
