noise after breaking on xsara

Post by Franck »

Help please, I have got a 1.9 d xsara 1998
I have notice recently that when I break I can hear sometimes ( not always...) like a small bang or clanking noise coming from the back....it seems to be coming a second or two after applying the brakes..
Any ideas anybody, cheers. Franck..

Hi there,
I'm having the exact same problem on my Xantia 1.8 Lxi. I'm taking it to the garage on the 16th if nobody can help you with this problem and if you can wait until then...

Hi Franck,
I don't know if your problem will exactly the same as mine, but for me it was the brake pads and disks that were in a pittyfull state. I should have checked.
It cost me £54 in part plus labour. From what I understand they are quite easy to change and you should be able get them on Ebay for much cheaper.
So check them and if you're lucky that'll be it...
