Hello, I had all four pads and rotors replaced with new OEM ones at my VW dealer 2 weeks ago, and ever since then I have been getting a brake squeal whenever I am coasting to a stop and not using the brakes (under 20mph). I also get the noise when moving from a stop (also under 20mph). The only time I do not get the noise is when the car isn’t warmed up and in rainy/wet weather.
I went back to the same dealer who did the installation and they claimed to clean the calipers and rotors, lubed the caliper slide pins and lubed the rear brake pads but the noise is still there after picking it up. Any ideas?
Once again I do not get this noise when braking and in wet weather.

Y’know, this sounds like the brakes are sticking or dragging…
I’d pull the calipers and grease the slide pins with silicone paste.
I’d also check to see if the calipers are actually functioning normally and aren’t permanently extended.
REALLY surprised the shop didn’t do that themselves…
But have a look, grease those pins up well. Make sure the pad backing plate isn’t separated from the pad material and dragging along the hat of the rotor.
Good luck!
