XR2DI4 Member 18 Member For: 16y 25d Posted 28/10/08 05:26 AM Share Posted 28/10/08 05:26 AM Hey,Ive had my XR6 Turbo for a couple months. When I turn it on and the car is idling the engine makes a ticking sound is this normal?When I bought the car it squeals when you brake and the guy said it will do this because the brakes are new, I've noticed that there is black residue on my rims which I think may be from the brakes?My last question, should I get the center muffler removed from my xr6 turbo, when I went to the mechanic he said that it will cause a lot of drone and he said his price is $175 SE in melbourne?If anybody can give me some feedback it would be greatly appreciated.Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where exactly is it from?Brake squealing a massive problem with these things! Mine are so friggin bad and nothing I tried will stop it. The black residue is only brake dust. It can't be stopped, but it will wash off easily and isn’t anything to worry about, it happens with every car.Removing the center mufflers doesn’t cause drone. I got mine done for $150 so you are on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakes don't squeal just because they're new.How do you brake?Do you apply firmly or ride them like a nanna?If the brakes are new and were riden like a nanna they are probably glazed. This will cause the squealing sound.A lot of different factors could be contributing to the squeal. eg. type of pad, disc condition, glazed pads.Check all of these out.

But ve also noticed the squealing sound has gotten quieter or maybe im getting use to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
