Brake Squeal

[Lordboost]

my 2010 tig squeals like hell when going slow, in reverse.

My Tig is not even 3 months old and they squeal, but only in reverse.

Movie... "Deliverance" LOL! Eh, where's Burt when you need him??

Hate to dig up an old thread, but my brakes squeal embarrassingly at slow speeds in traffic, in parking lots, taking corners, etc. I'm ready to pull my hair out. I'll be going the after-market pad route.

I just replaced the pads. I am confident they are the problem. The are too big and sing on the edge of the rotor. Then new pads are shade smaller. See my post form yesterday.

Anyone else getting low speed brake squeal (with cold pads and rotors) that goes away once warmed up?

Just resonance that will go away with anti-squeal compound on the back of the pads?

I had this on my MK5 GTI too...

Yep, same here: a little squeal in the morning that goes away once warmed up.

VW put out a TSB about the problem. Apparently the friction material used on the original ones resonated at the wrong frequency causing the music. Solution was a new compound. Call the dealer and see if they will cover you.

I thought I'd bump this thread because my wife's 2011 Tiguan is having major brake noise problems.

Every morning, regardless of weather conditions, the brakes emit an ear piercingly loud screech when using them in reverse down the driveway.
No other time does this happen.

Like others have mentioned, it's so loud it's honestly embarrassing.
The whole block knows when my wife leaves for work!

I have a good relationship with our local VW service advisor, so I'll give him a call to see what/if VW will do about it.
Understandably these are wear parts, but with only 20k miles on the car I would expect the brakes to be a little more civilized!

We have a 2012 and are only at 10K miles. The squeal is really annoying and I will ask about this the next time when I am at the dealer. If by any chance you get this done can you report back the TSB #?

Thanks.
