Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / August 2008Squeaking while in reverse
I have a Golf 2000, and recently, I've have somewhat loud squeaking when in back up...and only when i back up. When i press the break, it disappears...but i also stop. I don't have this problem going forward. Any ideas? brakes have groove & ridges in the contact surfaces maybe? this causes a vibration, more when you are reversing, that creates the squealing. try a couple of hard quick stops or manually remove the ridges JMHO  Signaturelater, (One out of many daves) >I have a Golf 2000, and recently, I've have somewhat loud squeaking > when in back up...and only when i back up.

Its not abnormal for this to happen on disc brakes. The easiest & cheapest thing to do is take out the pads & sand them down. Then lubricate pads & sliders. Also a pretty good idea to scuff up the disc a little. Craig >I have a Golf 2000, and recently, I've have somewhat loud squeaking > when in back up...and only when i back up.
