Trying to work out what causes the noise.
Car is a 2007 epica, single piston front brakes.
Changed front pads a couple years back to cheap repco pads and not long later (week or two) it started making a noise. We tryed coppercoat on the pad/caliper contact areas, that didn't work so ignored it for a while but finally decided to do something last month.
Gave front disc surfaces an 80grit wherever they looked hot spotted.
That didn't work, so yesterday fitted new pads and disc's. I used the supplied lube for pad/caliper contact areas, also sprayed lithium grease on the slide pins.
All back together and still a noise.
My next plan is to investigate the rear discs and say the timing of the noise was coincidental. Or a brake fluid flush, but can't justify how that was the cause (I understand it was disturbed during pad change, but loose crud jamming somewhere maybe?)
Anyway, any thoughts or ideas appreciated.
