Morning all,

I recently took delivery of a 2014 Panamera Turbo S and have done about 1,500 (mostly) happy miles but have noticed recently that there is a squeaking noise coming from the rear of the car, particularly noticeable at low, town speeds and after runs of maybe an hour or more.

I've had a close look at the pads and discs a number of times to make sure there is no grit caught in them, which I'm very careful about given the cost of PCCB replacements, and can't see anything. The noise is not affected by braking but I wondered whether this might be a handbrake issue. The handbrake makes quite a loud creaking noise when it gets engaged while the car is on an incline, certainly a lot louder than it was on my previous Panamera.

Before I check it in for the inevitable 5 days at Chiswick, has anyone else experienced anything like this and might there be a quick fix?

Thanks for any help offered!
