Screeching brake noise

[4evershiva]

Hi Guys,

Have taken my 2009 D3 a couple of times off road now and whenever i come out of a big puddle of water, the front brakes give this screeching noise for a few minutes and then dissappears. Anyone encountered a problem like this. Is this something I can just ignore or take care of it asap before it does too much damage.

Thanks.

Is it the discs getting a fine coat of rust? I get the same problem with my ute whenever I wash it, the brakes squeal until the pads remove the rust.

Probably small stones getting in between your pads and rotors, if the rotors develope a lip, it can cause the stones to get stuck in there, or could also be your handbrake full of crap, this can cause the handbrake to stick on which causes a screech, check it out too, might need cleaning out or pads may need replacing.

Have a look at your front pads and rotors, might be due for replacement.

My D3 does the same, Only does it every now and then in really dirty muddy water, I put it down to stones and gunk getting in and my discs and pads are reasonably new with no lip and very little wear on the pads.
