Brakes replaced now noise * VERY URGENT*

(1/4) > >>

Discohugh:
Hi folks, local landy place fitted my brakes and new passenger chrome swivel yesterday, well while out driving today a weird and worrying sound developed sounds like it is under/side of disco it is a rhythmic clacking sound still there when coasting in neutral sounds louder sometimes than others.....any ideas ?  :?

thermidorthelobster:
Which bit of the brakes did they replace?  The whole calliper assembly and the discs, or just the pads?

Stone stuck in the disc?  Or stone stuck in the tyre for that matter?

Discohugh:
They replaced discs and pads

Discohugh:
I have jacked up disco and rotated wheel does not click....but the new pads move forwards or backwards according to wheel direction turned. I think it may be them rattling in the calipers. I got the kit from mail order who assured me a 1996 300 tdi had pads retaining kit withe the pin and spring in the middle as on late 300 tdi. Is this correct?. Can anyone give me some help asap?. Cheers. Can provide phone number for any forthcoming advice.  :(

Les Henson:
Some cheap aftermarket brake pads do tend to be very poor quality. I've had this on normal cars once or twice. The brakes still work ok, but the noise is annoying. I suggest you take your truck back to the garage - considering what they charge, you would have expected them to have used a decent make of brake pad.
