• Sintered brake pads fitted ~50 miles ago, they have just started to make a constant noise which is really annoying especially around town. Do I need to just get the miles in or potential issue?

    Finding it hard to get any time these days but can take the brake calliper off and clean pistons (again). I'd quite like to bleed the brakes too but I read I need to reset the ABS module with an OBD reader (to get totally rid of old fluid) and I CBA.

  • When you fitted the pads did you clean the disc holes out as well using a ceratec grease on the pad edges? Is it a sliding caliper?

    Also slowly drawing the fluid out with a big syringe (50ml) out of the bleed nipple should draw the fluid through the abs system.

  • Good point on disc rotor holes!

    Bit of old bike brake cable is great for poking them out. Cut it about 5cm down from the barrel and use it like a cocktail stick

  • Ceratec grease is a very good point. Conflicting advice online about grease but makes sense. Will add some and give everything a good clean again.

    It has a Brembo caliper with 4 small pads, not sure on the official term for it.
