Noisy Tarox Pads
« on: April 20, 2012, 01:23:14 pm »
Finally managed to get my set of Cupra brakes installed today at Votex by Mike, who I'd also like to add is a top bloke and would definetly recommend them  :happy2:

Huge difference to stopping power, BUT the squeal it makes when braking from a slow pace (tapping the brake pedal) is awful and so bloody loud! At other paces, e.g. braking from 10mph+ its fine. The brakes were purchased from forum member and have covered around 2000miles. Is this normal for the Tarox pads?

Think the pads are these - >

Video I made when braking....the noise is horrible!  :sick:

Did you fit any shims on the back of the pads to stop the squeel?

Don't think so. The pads were already attached to the calipers when I got them. I presume the only way to get around this is to take the pads off and put shims and copper grease on them?  :confused:

Yes that's what I would do copper grease on the points where the pads contact the carrier and a small amount where the caliper touches the pads ie the piston etc
