EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TOFROM CONVERSATION
QUESTION / CONTEXTmy vw tiguan started making a grinding/squeaking noise it doesnt seem to affect my braking ability at all and it isn't constant. I have no lights showing any concerns.
IMPORTANT GUIDANCE
Noise comes and goes
Often happens after gravel roads, wet/salty roads, parking lots
Can sound like a nasty grind but braking feels totally normal
Makes a light squeak that’s not constant
Usually comes and goes depending on wheel angle, turning, or light braking
You can still brake fine for a while
First few stops may squeak or grind slightly then disappear
Braking still feels normal
