Hello am new to this site, I recently bought a 2009 Mini Cooper But I been hearing the breaks when I do A stop or I'm about to drive again after I Been in a stop sign ect. I took it to couple of places and all the mechanic Said that the breaks look really Good , and is coming to hear them??? Is this really true)??? Thanks
Perhaps you've got a lot of surface rust on the rotors and what you hear is the rust being worn off. Did the car sit awhile before you got it? Common to hear them, ah no.
Welcome to M/A the FUN Mini site. Sounds like rush on rotors to me. Where are you located? Maybe we can advise you of another service location to have you brakes checked again.
A more clear description of the noise would help. Rust on rotors is usually a morning thing & goes away after a few stops. Is the noise continuous? Only when the brakes are applied? Is it a clank sound? Welcome to M/A
Welcome to the coolest MINI forum on the net.............. Show off that MINI and post up some pics when you get a chance... Could a caliper be hanging up in the rear?...
