VZ SV6 Brakes squealing
Well after a spirited drive with a car group though the Jambaroo Pass yesterday my brakes have started to squeal. I know my brakes still had 50% of meat on them at the last service so im wanting to know what would be causing the noise?

Hey Paul, mine does this when i do alot of heavy braking after giving it some stick.
Does it happen every time u brake?

who knows. I'd start by washing them out when cold and watching the dust just pour out, then trying it again.
No they have never made the noise before, though i was pushing the car quite hard and a few cars on the day actually had their brakes catch on fire!! To answer your question it does it every time i brake with more then about 10-20% pressure on the brake. I think i will hose down the brakes and see if that fixes it.

the other thing is you might have melted the pad material a bit, which means you need to take it out to try and roughen up, or replace

mine do the same, the front right is the worst. I don't mind though.
Well i just took it for a drive after it had the whole night to cool down and it is no longer making any noise. I will have to wait and see if the squeal comes back. All that being said i have to say the SV6 surprised me with its handling, brakes and Auto trans as i was able to keep up with an Evo 8 MR though the windys
