I recently got new brakes installed on my Vauxhall Vivaro and now they are constantly squeaking when I use them. It's really annoying and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice?
ReplyThere are a few potential reasons for squeaky brakes on your Vauxhall Vivaro. One possibility is that the brake pads were not installed correctly, causing them to rub against the rotors and create noise. Another possibility is that the brake pads are low quality and prone to squeaking. I suggest taking your van to a certified mechanic to have it inspected and potentially replaced with higher quality pads.
I had the same issue with my Vauxhall Vivaro and I found out that the brake pads needed to be lubricated. This is a simple fix that can be done at home. Use a specialized brake lubricant on the back of the pads and on the contact points with the caliper. This should reduce the squeaking noise.
I've had this problem with my Vauxhall Vivaro before and it turned out to be rust on the rotors. As the rust wears off, the noise should go away. However, if it persists, you may need to replace the rotors or have them resurfaced. Make sure to have a mechanic properly diagnose the issue before making any repairs.
