Hi All,
I need your help as my car seems to make a bad noise when I brake. Checked the fronts and they are fine, pads nearly new.
Tried the rear ones and have no clue!

It is a 2002 1.8GDI Pinin. Unfortunately I don't know much about floating brakes.
When I took the rear wheel off, all I could see is cover where I could only imagine it contains the brake mechanism inside.

I am sure rears are disk as when I look for pads on the net for this car they look like normal pads to be used by disks but not sure why it looks very different and doesn't use the same system as any other normal disk and pad system. there is also a Brake Fluid Pipe going to the rear brakes so it is a disk brake for sure.

I came unstuck as to how to take this cover off so I can see the inside and figure it out.

Help.....

If this doesn't help you then I need to take the wheel off again and take pics.

Cheers guys

Andy

Hi Andy

Sorry but drumbrakes also have fluid pipes, that`s no sign for a disk brake.

pics and some further informations about the "bad noise" would be useful

ummm.... the cover is the drum the shoes are inside the drum....
hence the term drum brakes......

seriously tho if u dont know what u are doing take it to someone who does.....


and all hydraulic brakes drum and disc-- have fluid lines to them thats how they work.....
