If it happens that you can discern sounds or feel vibration when you brake with the Renault Scenic 4, it can arise from different concerns. Usually there is no automatic worry, however it is always wiser to pay attention and find a solution to this problem. Sometimes, just scrubbing the affected part can work. Within this dossier, we’ll find out how to find a diagnostic depending on the noise, and after what are the precautions to put in place.
Whistling noise on your Renault Scenic 4 front or rear brakes
When a noise from whistling arrives with your Renault Scenic 4, it's usually related to brake pads. The symptom is usually the same if the noise comes from the rear or front brakes. In fact, the lining of the brake pads will be composed of a rubbery component, which will allow it to stick perfectly to the disc. When the component is damaged, the disc can touch the pad. So this is what friction which produces that rustle that you perceive. If this is indeed the case, it seems important to replace the brake pads. However, it also seems plausible that some gravel or something else has entered the platelets. Also in this situation, a hissing noise may be produced. It is also essential to do control by a professional so as to see if it could be dangerous. If it happens to be at a squeak that you think you can discern, it will probably be enough to acquire a brake cleaner and spray it into your vehicle disc.

Be careful, in the case where it is really the disc which is warped, it seems extremely wiser to replace it as soon as possible, because it may damage other components of the vehicle.

It is then a reverse dysfunction. When you press, the brake pads will come into contact with the wheel, the shrill noise suddenly goes out. This dysfunction probably comes from calipers. These happen to be way too close to the wheel when you don't press. It is then this contact which produces the noise. Sometimes it will be enough to apply several abrupt strokes of the brakes so that the calipers re-position themselves. If this is not the case, it is essential to replace them!
