Title: MTEC drilled disc noise!
Post by: jacobrownoly on April 17, 2017, 09:36:23 pm

Hi guys,

Just after some advice.

I have the S3 front break set up on my mk5 gti. I have OME S3 pads and drilled + grooved MTEC discs. I have had them on for over a year with no issues at all but recently they have started to groan a lot louder that I can remember them doing. I know drilled discs are a little louder but as said recently its been getting more annoying. Its like a deep/drone groan.

Anyway, I was thinking it would be the pads but when I got it on the ramp and had a closer look the pads seemed fine with more than enough life in them. The discs look fine too.  :stupid:

Anyone shed some light on this?  :smiley:

Many thanks

Hi jack it's Probably pad pick up.
How hard do you use them?
Get up to speed and Do some hard braking allowing to cool for 1/2 a mile then repeat for a few times normally sorts out groaning issues.
