2019 Macan - Brakes
Hello Everyone ,
I am new to the Porsche Brand and just bought a 2019 Macan over the holidays with about 10,000 miles on it CPO. However since I have had it for about 3 weeks now I hear this strange grinding noise when I brake but it’s not constant if it’s a soft brake you won’t hear it but the further you push I can hear the slight grinding. Being that the car now only has 11,700 miles on it It’s essentially brand new so I would think the brakes and rotors are still well within their lifespan . However I am not sure , has anyone else experience this, does that typically happen? I’m hoping someone can shed some light on this or some advice . I contacted the dealer today hoping they’ll get back to me by tomorrow as well!

Piece of pebble lodged between the caliper and the rotor?
I had this a couple times. Took it to a DIY wash with a high pressure hose. Gone.

i tried this and I’m still hearing the noise it only seems to appear if I really press on the brake hard if it’s light you don’t hear anything. I’ll try again maybe it’s just lodged very tight in there . Sometimes I know the pebbles lodges in there tight and you hear the screeching as you drive I’ve had this happen in previous cars before . Thank you!

Does your car sit outside overnight in damp weather? Look at them first thing in the morning. These rotors get a light coating of rust just from washing the car. After driving a mile or so, the rust is removed from the braking action.

Try this...get into a parking lot that is wide open and back the Macan in reverse hard and fast, then slam on the brakes while in reverse, get is as fast as you can go while still maintaining control and being safe. Do it three times. If there is a small amount of debris or glaze on the rotors, that often dislodges it. No point doing that more than 3x, however. I find it to be fairly effective and may eliminate that noise you are hearing. I doubt your pads are worn at that mileage, however some vehicles can really go through rear pads (BMW's are famous for this) as they control the dynamic stability on many cars.
