new disks and pads, new noisee

[joe67]

I fitted new front disks and pads from euro car parts to the tdi.... Ever since i now get a clicking/clunk sound from the front offside 80% of the time i brake... Ive checked its all tight, ive removed and refitted, and the noise is still there...

Whats the chances of it being faulty parts, i was conisdering play in a ball joint, but am sure its more brake related

You did fit them correct way round . They have an arrow pointing in direction of travel

if that was the case then there would be a problem on both sides mate, not the one. am sure they are fitted correct, checked enough lol. can only be poor quality parts or worn calipers

Maybe then you may want to search this forum regarding noisy pads etc and read the replies especially about cheap pads

What make pads did you use. Have you checked for direction arrows. Regards Peter

Good luck asking him that I suggested that to him and basically got told I was suggesting a stupid idea . But he did get cheap pads from ECP. Rather than pay for quality brake pads from a dealer.
