Hi all just joined up to see if owners alike are experiencing any similar issues or have any suggestions. A few months ago I bought a 2021 VW Golf R-Line Estate. I love it apart from one issue which is brake squeal from the front brakes. This always happens after driving for about 5 minutes and only when light braking. Its very annoying! The noise occurred on the original VW standard disc and pad set which were only 50% worn (car has only done 23K). I have changed the discs, pads and the 8 metal calliper shims for genuine VW parts. I have also cleaned/ wire brushed/ re-greased the brake calliper and slide pins but the squealing noise still happens (new pads have been bedded in and discs are not glazed) In additional to this my brake pedal seems to 'clunk' twice when coming off the brakes. It feels like the master cylinder/ booster attached to the pedal isn't returning as quick as the pedal itself. There's also a slight grinding noise when driving. Anyone have any suggestion on what it could be? ...... calliper sticking?.
