Brake dust causes brakes to squeek more often than not, it has a certain resonant frequency and when the road/braking vibration makes it reach that, then it squeeks. Or something. Mine just stopped squeeking, they're not worn down as I checked them and they have a break wear light on the dash anyway. | |

These are all common problems, my Dad is a driving instructor and has had 2 Sxi's and they have both had all of the problems listed above plus more problems too. He waits til service time to get them fixed tho cos if he takes his car in during the week he'll be loosing money where he could have been teaching | |

i have done 16000 miles in 18 months and am on my 3rd set off pads from vauxhall. they tried telling me about this dust and shit, said they can clean it for £91 quid. i said hold on, i have just spent £8500 cash with ya, u taking the piss. they sorted but said it was the last time, i know have a problem with the steering, being tight in spots, so at some point its going back in. jokers believe. | |

Yeah my car has suffered from this for the past 4 or 5 months. It squeaked constantly while driving. it kind of stopped when I applied the brake gently, but the harder I pressed it just squeaked again!:mad: | |

yep, i had worn down my brake pads, they have a little metal clip on them that when the brake pad reaches it they scrape along the brake disc to tell u they need changing. | |

Took mine to vaux and got a new set of pads, providing its within 1st year. They said i had managed to wear them out in 8k! They are obviously too soft for the disks. | |

I know a few of you guys have had the problem of something squeeking when driving your corsa c (think its something to do with the brakes). Well this has just started happening to mine, just wondered what everyone done to overcome it???? :thumbs: |
