Whistling new brakes?

Zulu · 2008-10-21 09:09:05

Hi folks, quick one here. I just got my car services and had new break pads put on. Now, sometimes, when I break I hear a whistle. Whats all that about? Should I bring it back to the mechanic? Cheers!

It might disappear once the brakes 'bed in' but they most likely need a smear of copper grease put on the brake pad backing plate. At the very least, ring the mechanic and let him know
