Jamming the breaks on works like a charm. No more squeal!

Hrm, what a coincidence, my dad has been complaining that his TT brakes are shot and that the sqealing he keeps hearing is from worn out pads and is metal on rotor. Visually you can see that there is plenty of pad left on each brake.

Nothing like a little bit of hard driving and cleaning off the brakes can't fix.

To compound the matter, he drives the car once, yes, you read right, once a week...so you can't help but attribute it to glazed/buildup rotors....not worn out pads...

Darn paranoid dads

Be nice...fathers day is coming. In fact, for fathers day, why not take his TT out and spank it and clean up the brakes?

Yes, let's all try re-"BEDDING" the brakes.... I guess that means we're putting them to bed......

Come-on guy, all I was saying was that "bleeding" the brakes has nothing to do with "build-up" on pads. Glaze on rotors will cause some noise.....

Take it easy.....
