EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO FROM CONVERSATION

QUESTION / CONTEXT: my 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.

  1. Noise comes and goes
  2. Often happens after gravel roads, wet/salty roads, parking lots
  3. Can sound like a nasty grind but braking feels totally normal
  4. Makes a light squeak that’s not constant
  5. Usually comes and goes depending on wheel angle, turning, or light braking
  6. You can still brake fine for a while
  7. First few stops may squeak or grind slightly then disappear
  8. Braking still feels normal
