Braking issue

I get a noise from under the hood on applying breaks while reversing.
This 'Thak' like noise comes mostly when starting from stationary condition. It tends to subside after applying the break a few times.

The problem was reported twice , the last time being during the 3rd service last month. These people are obviously not able to diagnose the problem.

They said it's due to the callipers.. and some greasing should solve the problem... it obviously has not.

Has anybody faced a similar problem before ?
What could be the reason for the noise ?....
your help would be much appreciated.

This can happen with Disk Brakes the pads move a bit on reversing as they do not fit extrmly tight or they could not work .In my eyes this is normal

Thanks Stuart... much appreciated... it does seem like the pads or something are moving a bit... the breaking is normal except for the noise.
the service engineers should know these things !

i too observed this noise in the starting but it is vanished now....no effects on the braking yet to i assume it is normal..

I had a similar problem. Its caused due to the bent metal plate between the front tires underneath. Get it removed, Hammered and straightened out. Problem will go away.

Which bent plate ?
Could you describe it in more detail.

Cheers

Adam that is from something you have damaged !! metal does not bend itsself out of shape rest assured the rest of you you have NO braking problems

Another Braking News!!!

Adam's logan met with an accident because of the Ugly brakes

Rear Bumper, Left backlight, Number plate and the Bonnet were the casualties. I want to get bigger better brakes asap. Any ideas? Will post the pics of the damage.

Funny how some people blame there brakes

Hi Adam,

Some good braking technique for you..no offense...I have found this site very good for learning the theoretical aspects of driving...the same can be mastered by practice... try to do rev matching as much as possible while you are driving..this is good for your car as well as for the braking...links below...

Huh am now being told how to drive and use the brakes ?
Thanks but no thanks

Hi Martin,

This was not intended for you. However, just for your information, learning has no age. But, it seems that you don't have the humility to accept the same. Request you to refrain from offensive posts in a public forum. It is really surprising that you don't have the minimum etiquette of addressing a public forum. Try to learn the same.

Regards,
Kaustuv

If you dont like what I post then think about what YOU post
I am not ...in fact nobody is going to learn how to drive the cars from silly
rally websites What you have posted is for Racing or Rally driving
and this is exactly the type of stuff which younger drivers read and go
out and try and wrap up there non rally Logans.and as for minimum etiquette .I will not answer you on that one
regards

AND on the first Posting it wasnt directed at Adam ! You have edited that in not that Adam will like being told how to drive his car !!! But what the hell

Dear Martin,

I have never came across such an intolerable and rude person like you in my entire life. It seems that you have started considering yourself as a dictator of this forum trying to force what someone should like or not.The basics of driving, whether it is street, rally or race always remain the same. There is no need to reinventing the wheel in every other form of driving. Regarding etiquette, better not to speak about the same. You doesn't seem to be worthy of it. Furthermore, a person who feels every other person is silly is actually the silliest person. But anyway, there is no use of telling something to you, it's like banging head against the wall.

Regards,
Kaustuv.

@ Kaustuv f you want to Bang your head against a brick wall please feel free to do so But dont damage it (The Wall)
If you cannot take Critic then why the hell do you post this is the idea of a forum to get other peoples ideas and to say Yes I like it or no it is not Correct ...............do you see where I am going Kaustuv

hmmmm .... once again !!!

WHAT

cool down mates...........

I have nothing to cool down about have I !! I am not throwing my dummy out of the pram

guys getting back to the real issue.
I reported a noise in breaking while reversing.

I again reported the problem to the service centre. This time my name was missing from the appointment list and they turned me back because of unusual absenteeism. I had serious argument with the delears, which lead to a meeting with the service GM.

The car was then checked by the service GM and the workshop head. They have confirmed that the noise is not from the break but the front suspension. Although they have asked for more time to analyse and resolve the problem. I have an appointment on coming saturday... will keep the forum posted.

Actualy if your workshop was any good they would have sent you home in another car at there expence as it could be a seriose problem be it Brakes or be it suspension they should not let you drive the car .Be it on there heads ! This would not happen in my Garage would have sent me home in
another vehicle

Phew..
Finally we discuss the problem..
Neways, what martin says is right! Is not safe at all. But "Apna Chalta Hai attitude!!"
Neways, avoid driving the car till saturday. The best you could do! Ensure that you get a solution to the problem! Dont let them pass it off as a stray incident..
