Original publication
The customer may complain of a high-pitched squeal or squeak from the brake system when braking at slow
speeds, even though the brake pads and discs still have a significant life left.
Technical Background
The noise is caused by the natural frequency of front brake components.
Like all high-performance brakes, TT RS brakes are designed for optimum braking performance. Highperformance brakes must satisfy a wide range of functional demands, including having good pedal response and
a short stopping distance after several repetitive brake applications.
It is not possible to entirely eliminate all brake noises under certain unfavorable driving conditions. Brake noise
does not have a negative impact on braking performance or wear.
Production Solution
Not Applicable.
