Brake noise

I have had my Fabia 3 1.4 TDi for just over a week and have done 500 miles. So far I'm very pleased with it (it's my first Skoda and it took a long time to persuade my wife to test drive one!!).

Last night while driving along, I heard a very loud noise coming from the from the front brakes. I called out Skoda Assist (RAC) and they found a small stone trapped between the brake disk and a metal cover that is just behind it.

I used to get the same problem on a Mini Metro I had in the early 80's.

Has anyone else had the same problem? If it is going to happen frequently I think Skoda should change the design of the cover.

Re: Brake noise

So far I haven't had the problem...

Even on our boulder and gravel-full roads...

I had it on a Golf GTI Mk2 once. It happened on a freshly surfaced road. Grit with a bit of tar on got stuck there.
