Just wondering , is it normal for brakes to squeak? Car is new 718S they don't squeak until the final stopping point and when I take the foot off the brake to start moving again?

Wondered if it was just something these brakes do new and they needed bedding in

I drive 718's (Cayman and Boxsters) S and non S
Can't say that's inherrant in that Mark of car.
Have a check around for anything lodged in, grit or whatever. Give it a blast with the airline next time you do you tyres.
I am assuming your brakes are functioning as they should.
Check the discs now or any scoring.

Yeah brakes function as normal and can't see any scoring etc it's been there since collection.

I'll ask the OPC if they can take a look in that case , I just wasn't sure if that was normal. As I say it's just at that very last point in which I stop / start but still annoying

Try several hard applications to threashold from about 70mph. That should cure it.

My new 718CS is similar. I don't want anyone tinkering with it though.

Thanks everyone , i'll get them bedded in properly. Must admit only had it a week and not had chance to read the manual will have a proper read through next week whilst off work.
