Squeaky Ceramic Brakes?

750 miles on my 997TT Cab with Ceramic breaks.
Not a big deal, seemed like a dusty hot day yesterday.
on 2 occasions, I heard a squeak in the brakes coming to a slow stop.

Is this part of of the break in with these breaks? My 997s with standard breaks never had this problem.

Break dust?

Anyone else have this experience?

I sure hope it stops. I already feel a squeamish deciding on the 8500 additional cost for these babies!

thanks!

I had just the opposite - lots of squeaks on 997 C4S - never any noise on the 997 TT with PCCB's.

24,000 on mine without a squeek.

You aren't pushing hard enough.

Yeah it seems like light braking really seems to bring out squeaks in the PCCBs. You didn't just buy them for the pretty yellow calipers did ya?

Light braking, heavy braking - no squeaks or any noise from my PCCB's.

Mine also squeaked, especially at slow speeds and minimal pressure. The dealer told me to 'cycle' them by stopping quickly from about 70mph 4-5 times and then letting the brakes cool and doing it again. It worked for a few days and the squeaks eventually returned. Getting the service tech at my dealer was the key, they soon replaced the pads, under warranty, and I haven't heard a noise since.
