Car: Vauxhall Insignia
Year: 2010
Variant: 2.0 CDTI

Categories: Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres

I have a loud squealing noise coming from the brakes, I left the car into Vauxhall and they told me it is a common problem, the brake pads have got overheated and are now damaging the discs, when i asked is this covered by the warrenty as there is still 60% left on pads and discs i was told by vauxhall customer services to take it to another vauxhall dealer for a second opinion as there first dealer should not have told me that it is a common problem. when i explained that i start work at )06:30 in the mornings and dont finish untill after 20:00 so the dealer they want me to go to would be closed i was told that was all they could do or i could get it fixed myself.
Is anyone else having this problem.....

Please Help

Dont know how the brakes would get overheated under normal driving unless there was a fault and they were sticking or you were rallying the car !!!Normally you would strip down callipers , clean out , deglaze pads and give a coat of Coppergrease on backing and contact points which usually cures brake squeal . You can sometimes get squeal also if cheap pads fitted .Could check discs for wear also but dependant on mileage/ condition whether they need replaced or not.If just needing cleaned out wouldn't normally be covered by warranty after the first year as it would be classed as a routine service item .

Agree with above brakes are wear and tear item and can not see how they would be warranty unless they were cosuquentialy damaged by means of a sticking calliper etc.
