Hello Everyone!
My 2001 306 1.4 1360cc brakes are squeaking like crazy!
I have just bought this car in July, since I have bought it, the brakes have been squeaking from the front every time I apply the brakes.
The person that I bought the car off said that the brake pads and brakes discs had just been changed that why they are squeaking. No invoice has been provided so not sure if he was lying or not.
Several months down the line the brakes are still squeaking!
After visiting multiple garages and Kwik Fits, everyone has told me different things!
I been told that it could be:
1. The brake pads need to be replaced.
2. The brake discs need to be replaced.
3. The brake callipers needs to be replaced.
4. The brake fluid needs be replaced.
5. The brake lines needs be replaced.
6. The brake master cylinder needs be replaced.
7. The brake servo needs be replaced.
8. The brake pedal needs be replaced.
They think because I’m a 21 year old student, they can sucker me into paying a hefty repair bill.
I don’t know I’m kinda stuck on what I should do next.
Also just has the car MOT'd Yesterday and it passed without any advisories! The MOT station didn’t say anything to me.
Hope this information helps. I would be really appreciate any help!
Thank You
Happy New Year
Sam
