am quite sure the sound come from the rear brake disc...try to pull your hand brake higher and tighter...do u still hear the sound?

[Enrique]

y must pull the hand brake higher and tighter? is that normal for Fiat cars? if it ain't normal, is there any problem with the car?

[Application9999]

Not for particular car...it could be the rear disc brake pad rubbing against the breake disc..that's what I used to encounter in my opel previously...try it...no harm mah...

[Enrique]

if that is the case, i would suggest NKOTB to go back to AD and rectify the brake pad rubbing against the brake disc problem instead of pulling the handbrake higher and tighter.

mine too , but am not to concern .

[Nkotb]

guess its normal then ...

 

i tried pulling the handbrake higher and the sound is not so obvious... thanks for the tip...

 

when will the new site be up ??

[Timmz]

mine car has the same.

 

wen u get out of the car, the suspension lifts off, this rise in height will cause the wheel/tyre to turn. the tyre cannot turn freely coz the handbrake is on, however if the handbrake is not tight enough, the wheel will still force turn due to the released spring energy. The squeek is the friction sound of the rear brake pads.

 

if you follow the test stated by the earilier post to have the handbrake very tight. The wheel will not be able to turn, hence no sound of the brakes gripping!

 

This just proved taht ot required very little braking power to keep the car stationary.

[Enrique]

if this is the case, then adjust the handbrake so that u dun haf to pull higher.

[Nkotb]

go where to tighten ??

 

i just remembered 2 days back, my car rolled back even with the handbrake engaged..thats about the same time that i hear the sound..

 

to go AC or AD ??

[Enrique]

of cos go back to AD. if u engaged ur handbrake and it still rolls, then definitely must adjust the handbrake. this compromise safety becos if u park on a slope, that's it man.

 

I'm sure Overboost can help u arrange to adjust the handbrake. Dun think this is unreasonable rite?

if you're pulling your hand brake too high up already , get it adjusted asap.
