Scraping noise after changing front discs

[JoeHumphreys91]

As above. Am I right in thinking something could just be a bit loose?

 

[SBV116]

Car? Not uncommon for the squeak shim to touch the disc if there a bit bent.

1.2 16v mk 2 ph2. Gunna jack it up and have a look tomorrow. Could it just be them bedding in?

 

[JoeHumphreys91]

update on this. Caliper side pad back of it has been scraped to f**k. Any ideas

 

[Beasley Clio182]

Yes you have fitted them wrong ! The pads should me material in not metal in ! Seriously take it to a specialist ! Please don't work on your car if your not in the know especially if its brakes

 

[Beasley Clio182]

Let me reiterate ! Have you mistakenly fitted them backwards? The material side should be touching the disc ! It looks like they have been fitted backward ! But if not there's no reason why they should be catching ! Not that I can think of anyway !

 

[JoeHumphreys91]

They're both fitted right way. Just double checked and refitted. Was fine for a minute. Then pedal seemed to push in further queue the noise starting again

please take a picture of the brake assembly fitted so we can get a better idea of whats going on.

is that supposed to have a full stop in there somewhere?

 

[Matt W]

LOL at this.

 

[JoeHumphreys91]

Success. God I worry about myself sometimes. Putting it in wrong once was understandable (maybe) but to check it, take them out and still put the same one on wrong twice. I need my head examining. Thankfully there isn't too much damage to the disc (couple of scores). Braking feels alright now

 

[Fred@BTM]

you put the pad in backwards? I've seen someone copper grease the friction surface before because they read it on the internet LOL

oh and copper grease is not needed regardless of what your dad says

 

[JoeHumphreys91]

Yeah. I hadn't copper greased the surfaces. Just the backs when I changed the pads a couple of months ago. Cleaned up the disc and everything is fine now

Put the spanners down before you kill yourself or someone else!!!

Were you drunk or something?!

+1, if you weren't out of your mind on something then mechanics probably isn't for you lol.

Glad you got it sorted though.

 

[Adam G]

Have you oiled the disc surface or not yet?

 

[MartinR]

I'm gob smacked!!!:dead:

 

[Rubicon_]

Were they really in backwards? I would stay away from them in future.

Just remember if you do full service on the car, wash out the engine with plenty of hot water and fairy liquid to get all of that nasty grease out of the engine???

Don't tell him that! It's a secret!

 

[..Jack..]

Remember to open the windows and sunroof when you drive into a car wash and you get the inside cleaned too

 

[Fletcher]

WTF!

 

[dajones]

Car feeling rough on a cold morning? Just pop a coffee or two in the fuel tank, mine takes strong, black 2 sugars.

Try driving with your mirrors tucked in too it creates less drag so better mpg
