Hello,

My N420 roadster produces a screeching noise when moving slowly on 1st or 2nd gear.
It appears to be coming from the wheels and seem to be related to each revolution of the wheel.

It seems to be worst when turning a corner, but as always; it is intermittant.

Dealership had it back 4 times now; changing pads, cleaning pads, checking for stones etc.

They say they can't reproduce the noise! But yet I can hear it on most trips (with windows closed).

Can anyone suggest any other causes that could be making this noise, apart from pads in contact with disc, and has anyone had the same problem?

I think it's a build up of brake dust a good jet wash round the wheels sorts it but it does come back.
I can keep it at bay with regular washing.
But of course the OP might have another issue.
